Antifoul time coming up

[jimi]

What's the current recommendation?

For where?

[jimi]

the bottom of the boat, of course.

Lol......

I used International micron (the 90 quid a tin stuff) for the first time and I've definitely noticed the end-of-season speed is better this year compared with when I've used the usual cruiser or tiger cheapie stuff. Well, cheaper. Will have to wait for haul-out at the end of the month to find out what she actually looks like underwater.

Been very pleased with this years TeaMac. Vastly superior to the Micron I have used in previous years, and at a much lower price. Available from MDL at Hythe Marina and other stockists.

Is that the "hard" antifoul?

It might be for you, I did coppercoat last year. I'll probably take a walk around the boat yard on a nice sunny day, early next year, and have litle snigger, just before I go off for a sail!

[jimi]

is that the same as copperbot with the copper granules mixed in resin?

[Evadne]

No, the self eroding one that's alleged to last for two seasons. I figured if I paid a bit more it might actually erode instead of sitting there until I chip it all off again in another 20 years' time.
