When it is complete. I shall be trailing my 18ft carvel mahogany launch, so it will spend probably 95% of its time out of the water. Do I need these expensive anti-fouling paints? What do the group recommend?

Yes, if you plan to have her afloat for more than a week at a time.
If so, I recommend white "hard racing" antifouling, which puts up with being out of the water and helps keep the heat off a bit when out of the water.
Otherwise, no.

No You don't. I had a trailer-sailer for years, and it only had ordinary enamel underwater. Still going fine when I sold it.
