These are the suppliers of Jotun. Give them a call, they are very helpful and will tell you which antifoul to use. http://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/
Guess the antifoul

Agree - good for 2 years
+1 on their support. Sequeen is very runny but gives me 2 years good protection apart from slime which comes off easily. Solent based, Haslar marina - s/d power boat doing 8-10 kn

My hull speed is about 6kts but not with a hull like that!

Seaforce generally. I was using Jotun on my fishing vessel bought through the fishing coop. I used the stuff for probably 10 to 15 years. Jotun is a multinational and has factories all over the place, mine came from Sydney. I even went to the factory one year and bought there. The quality varies from batch to batch.
For my yacht its now Altec or Hempel.

+1 We also used Seaqueen this year, agree it is runny but very easy to apply. Only had it on a year but apart from a little slime it worked very well.

I put two coats of seaqueen on in May 2010, and found a huge amount of growth, slime and weed, on her by April 2011, having spent the winter in a marina on the Orwell. Put a single coat on in May 2011, and had to scrub her off in October to get some speed back. Can't say I am very impressed, although she she seemed to stay quite clean while being used every weekend. Left for more that a fortnight, and it build up quickly, but scrubbed off without trouble.

Our boat was launched in tha Baltic this spring, antifouled with a Hempel hard racing type. It did OK in the Baltic for 3 months till July, but it has been rubbish on the East coast of the UK - our hull looked nearly as bad as the OP's last week - but almost no barnacles. I don't know if that's a recommendation!

best for drying mooring
As my boat is kept on a drying mooring I used Hempel "hard" antifouling this year, on the recommendation of the chandler - A considerable amount of weed fouling, far more than previous years using Erodable A/F. (again usually Hempel/Blakes) . No barnacles though.
Now do I go back to erodable next year or start experimenting with other makes?

When we had a drying mooring we used hard on the bottom that sank into the mud then erodable on the upper hull to the waterline.
