Antifouling Advice

A bit confused about the difference between International Micron 300 and 350 ?

Boat is Nimbus with maximum speed of 22knots .

Also do people apply one or two coats , boat supplier suggest one is sufficient , I have always applied two in the past ?

Thanks All

I'm in my fourth year using Macron 350. Two coats are lasting 2 years making it good value.

Got Micron 350 on now since May 19 , first time I have used it and cruise high twenties .Put 80 hrs on last season , so it’s had a pasting so to speak .
It looked Ok last Oct under when snorkelling.....but so did regular 1 y yard boggo cheapo AF at that stage .

Saw it end of Jan this year ( before IT locked down ) and the WL looked fine ....as new much better than previous years .
In previous years the WL on my boat starts to foul up mid winter .

Changed marinas FWIW moved 100 or so Miles E in the Med .So arguably the boats sat in slightly different water to do a more meaningful direct comparison.

But that does not matter now .I really need this Micron 350 to work and stretch to a second year due to current lockdown situation in Italy and all the uncertainty .
So fingers X d .

Micron 350 was rubbish for me. It barely lasted a season, let alone two. Micron 99 is supposed to be better.
