How do I calculate how much antifouling to buy?

[SimonA]

Is there a formula for working this out? My boat is a dispacement hull and is 27ft along the waterline and 9ft beam.

I'm trying to work out how many 2.5L tins to buy.

Alternatively on the same site,

go to 'Enter Blakes'

then 'Choosing products'

'Antifouling' and finally 'Amount required'

Fantastic. Thank you.

You will need two cans for two coats with some left over, but probably best to put it all on in any case, extra coats along the water line and chines is a good idea.
