Re: Antifoul Puzzle

Ah, just remembered you are after two years between painting. You may or may not get two years with Seajet 033. In your favour is lots of sailing, a summer spent in cool waters and seajet is...

Re: Antifoul Puzzle

Used it for 3 years in a row I think. As previously reported it failed in 2013/4 but that could have been down to water temp, lack of use and location. Previously it did work well with only slight...

Re: Antifoul Puzzle

I can't think of anything available locally which is going to be any better, so you may as well go for it. The only close suggestion would be Seajet 033 at £75 for a 2.5L tin.

Re: Antifoul Puzzle

Sadly, it takes 4 people to put a commercial diver in the water in the UK if you do it properly. If you are caught breaking the rules the HSE wil come down like a tonne of bricks. Also most marinas...

Re: Antifoul Puzzle

I have used this on a previous boat actually a 22ft rib which lived in the water all year round. It wasn't very effective in a very high fouling area, but the worst was nothing would stick to it the...

Re: Antifoul Puzzle

Dockhead, Trilux is only medium strength anitfoul and doesn't have any copper in it so it will foul up the minute you stop. However, it is hard and I have used it on a stern drive and propellor...
