I used to use Seaforce 30 which as I take my boat out every other year did two seasons quite well.
This year I used the Cu Pro antifouling which according to Jotun is a commercial antifouling for domestic use.
My boat on the Orwell came out for a "summer scrub" on wednesday ( summer scrub finishes at the end of september ) and she was jet washed off and I checked the anodes and greased my Kiwi prop whilst she was in the slings for a couple of hours.
I also managed to put another coat of Velox on the prop shaft and propellor..Jury still out on Velox.
There was only very light slime on all of the hull and the power washer was turned down so as not to remove any antifouling.
There was some fouling to the bottom foot of the keel due to the fact that I cut a furrow in the mud when going outside the buoys
when turning into the channel at the entrance to Tollesbury from the Fleet.
I was very impressed with the result as I expected a lot of growth due to the hot weather. I will certainly be using it again.
I used 5 litres and had very little left over after one generous coat. It is from memory £120 for the 5 litres from SML Marine paints
and I paid a bit more for the package which includes thinners and 2.5 l of primer.
I have no association with the company or the product and having had some bad experiences with other more expensive antifouling
after not been able to get Seaforce I thought I would post here.
