Following on from the ongoing antifoul thread how much do you use what size/type

Following on from Catmandoo's thread he said he used 15 L . (I see his boat is 28' am I correct) I never thin antifoul and we use 10 L 5 L per coat applied by roller on a 48' mono hull.

That, s about what I use, only the local stuff on a 44ft always 1/2 tin left over

 

[NornaBiron]

We use 20 litres and just keep going round and round until it's all gone!

49' long keel monohull

 

[Cloven]

Thats about right ! Manufacturers vary . Some say 2 coats per year or so . I like to think I can stay in water for about 2 years so I double it and add extra at leading and trailing edges

50ish feet 37ish feet at water line. 11 ltrs = 2 coats hull and 3 coats to waterline and leading areas (rudder/keel), no thinning, done for each season.

 

[charles_reed]

2.0 litres a coat on a 31' boat (no thinning).

I usually only need to put 1 coat on per season, doubles up on high erosion points.

I'm still reeling from the prices and quantities quoted by Catmandoo; finally decided the decimal point was in the wrong place.

Last year I was paying €40/2.5litre can.

By eck, is that why you have a broad waterline mark!!??

Where you two upto now?

 

[TQA]

SEAHAWK 44 with added tin booster.

3 US gallons for two coats on my 3/4 keel 44 footer.

$325 US per gallon or $975 for the bottom per annum.

Try the Algarve, 10L International 550 euro. I buy Jotun Seaforce 30 in 20L drums direct from their depot, around 280 euro last time, sell most of it for a small profit as I only use 5L on 38ft monohull.

 

[Stuck in France]

2.5l tiger extra does 2 coats and a bit more on the areas that get most wear on my fin keel 25ft boat.

 

[cmedsailor]

5 litres of Nautix A4 T.Speed (hard antifouling). 2.5lt each layer.
36 ft fin keel.

Following on from the ongoing antifoul thread how much do you use what size/type

The coverage varies from make and type up to 100%. Google the specifications for your chosen anti-foul before you buy it.

As an example I get 2 coats of Hempel Mille or Jotun SeaForce on our 54 foot boat using a little less than 10 liters, whereas with a cheaper brand I would most likely use 20 liters.

When you compare prices don't compare price / liter but use price / sqm of coverage instead.
