I had my boat anti-fouled in March this year (self-polishing, erodible). It is a GRP hull and I am moored at Hambleden Marina. I will only ever sail it on the 'freshwater' Thames.
The boat will be craned out for the winter in mid-October, so I can inspect the hull then. Of course, if it absolutely needs doing, I will do so.
But what are people's views about the frequency to re-apply antifoul? I've seen various takes on this from 'must do every year, even if it's OK, just to be sure' to 'probably every 2-3 years if you are lucky'. Thoughts...?
