Just thought I'd share my observations around my antifouling this year.
I thought I'd try adding Chilli powder to my anti-foul as I heard lots of people say it works so thought I'd try it for myself.
2012 season I used Hempel Cruising Performer Antifoul with no chilli powder and its fair to say the weed attached nicely and was prevalent at haul out. 2013 season same antifoul although I added 2 x large packets of chilli powder into the paint and the antifoul worked a treat just a light coating of slime when she came out. Same amount of sailing, same cruising ground around the Blackwater.
Just thought I'd share with everyone as I'm going to try again next season to see if it wasn't a one off.
