Haul out and antifoul.... How much !!!!!!!

[prv]

Our yard is £5 per foot to lift out and £4.80 to put back in (no idea why the difference). If you want to come out, hang in slings for an hour, and go back in, that's £6 per foot in total. But if you're able to antifoul in such a short time you might as well just use the tide.

So for me, a lift out and later back in, as per your question, would be £235.

Antifoul from Shepherds, so presumably same price as PyroJames (haven't checked recently). I don't need 5 litres though.

This is in the Solent.

Looking at bigger boat lift out charges and arrangements have been my concern. I work away allot would loose to much sailing if I had to book weeks in advance.

The one I am planning on using is the C-Lift service in Cowes

Total care package I recon around £600 for 1 lift and paint and 2 lifts and jet-washes is not bad? Plus paint...
to
Awaiting for other come up with better prices lift anti-foul in Solent region...

How much is it where you are to get hauled out and antifouled?

I would like to find the most expensive and cheapest places.

We have a 45ft boat and are in La Rochelle in France. Haul out for 48 hours and put back is about 500 euro. Antifoul for 7.5L is 480 euros. Thats nearly a 1000 euro's without anodes. It would be cheaper to sail back to the UK an get it done there and then set off again.

What are prices like where you are?

Costs me about the same down here for 52ft/34 tonnes.
However, the haul out is for however long they need to do the antifouling and other stuff. (And two years ago that was for nearly two months as the weather was nasty).

Antifouling in France (Spain as well I think) is always very very expensive. There is no easy way of getting it cheap unless you or a mate bring it across on the ferry. I have not found anyone prepared to ship it for a reasonable cost as it counts as dangerous goods.

Try giving these people a call. Ask for Bruno or Jean-Marie and tell them John (l'Irlandais) sent you. It's where I got mine.

As for lift outs I have a deal with my marina where a 48hr lift-out and back (9m20) costs about 65€. I have a local person who does the anti-fouling for me. Cheap at twice the price.

I'm driving from Calais to the Alps on 15th Jan. You can meet me on route if you like....

Used to do it every year, with a 60ft wooden MFV, dried out for a couple of days alongside an old stone pier. Right beside the pub, too.

The drying out was free.

Thank you for all your replies and suggestions.
I now have someone who can pick up and deliver for me. Well thats half the job done.
I would love to know who is making all the profit if it sells abroad for 3 times the price it does in the UK

Sorry to say this but the folk around here with 45ft yachts are not afraid of paying €2k + for lift out, antifoul, anodes and hull polish.

Enough of them around to keep the yard in business anyway.

Where are you. I will get myself a dog, a bowl to put infront of me and I will sit on the Marina steps. Could make a fortune (well enough to pay for a haulout)

Suggest you get them to bring over a few extra tins, either for next year or to sell to others locally help finance / barter for any other work you need to get done. Hope thats not me suggesting smuggling by accident!

Lagos.

And I will tell you a true story.

An elderly (and a bit scruffy) couple I know put in here for a few days. She went into the ladies in the marina, he sat outside on the marina wall along with their old black lab; quietly waiting for her. He took his Breton cap off and put it beside him.

A passer by immediately threw a euro in.

BTW, if it makes you feel any better - Cruiser Uno 2.5l - €170.00

Yes. Thanks. I feel much better. It is only 110 euros here in France.

so new advice to any new pottential live-aboards planning a round the world trip ..... forget extra travellers checks, gold bars or other tradeable comodities, load up with anti-foul instead.

Oh, I so agree.
Someone along the way is making huge profits....
Why not so enterprising forumite out there.... It's a thought
Anyone want to buy some anti foul??????????

 

[chinita]

As we are no longer full time liveaboards we find that the savings we make by loading our Hiace van with stuff which is expensive here - like antifoul (5 litre tins), lubricants, anodes, polishes, varnish, dry and tinned foods, herbs, spices, sauce mixes, shampoo, shaving gel, toothpaste blah, blah - from the UK is significant and probably pays for the Portsmouth to Santander ferry.

On the return trip (between six and nine months later) we load up with all we can find which is cheap here - mainly booze and fags.

The return trip involves visiting mates on the way back. As we have an IKEA bed fitted in the back of the van we can pull up anywhere without any fuss. If we want to camp for a few days en-route we just sling up the 12ft square awning.

The savings made on the imported stuff easily pay for the minimal costs of energy in the house during the summer.

We have virtually no energy costs in the winter as the house is empty with the electronic thermostat set to 5 degrees.

I know people with big motorhomes who seem to operate on the same principle.

Does anyone know why companies won't or cannot send anti foul abroad. I notice that they ship to the Chanel Islands so why not the rest of europe. I thought we were in a common market?

Last year Jimmy Green Marine arranged the delivery of 3 x 2.5 litres of International Micron Extra and some Primacon to us in Leros, Greece. Shipping cost about £45 but we thought it was worth it. Delivery took about 5 days.

 

[Nostrodamus]

As has been shown a lot of essentials in Europe cost far more than in the UK.
What else, boat wise, is worth bringing back. Oil, filters, anodes, fuel addatives?
