That depends....

on which grade of Blakes you have on! If it is a similar, or harder, paint, the answer is yes.

Checkout screwfix.com
They have antifouling paints and primers at prices you wouldn't believe.
Anyone used them?

Hi Frank

If its the Hunter's antifoul you are refering to, the orginal antilfoul was Blakes, I then recoated with International, I checked at the time with International and was advised no problem.

Hope she is going well.

Hi Derek

thanks for that - I got your message but for some reason our internet connection was down so couldn't reply. She came out early Friday & spent the rest of the weekend working on her - looking good.

We're really pleased with her - had some great sails & handle really well in heavy weather.

I was going to contact you in the next couple of weeks anyway to let you know that "Sailing Today" have done a used boat test on Canboira which should be coming out in the next issue (mid-June)

have you got another boat yet?
