i am shopping a rond to find cheep antifoul of cost saving to do my saling yacht

i look in all the boat shops and the antifoul is priced way over price up and down the ( milford haven river ) - ( and im not paying ther prices )

some places antifoul is priced way over price
and mabey the same with other boat owner
so i am looking for links or to find cheep antifoul of cost saving

aney one got eney iders wher to fing it cheep :)
 
I paid £30 for 3ltrs of, I think, XM anti-foul from Marinescene in Penarth. I have found that, keeping my boat in fresh water and sailing plenty of time/miles in salt water seems to mean almost anything is OK so I just buy the cheapest and repaint it every two or three years. 3ltrs is enough for my 33ft hull, just.

I think you will probably find it hard to buy antifoul for less than £30. It could be worth posting something in the Wanted section. I know when we sold our yacht and went to a motorboat I had a tin of Blakes antifoul in the garage. I gave it away to a friend with a sailing boat at the time.

When we antifouled in November I bought International interspeed (which seems to work well within the Haven). I think Cruiser Uno is the one to use for a sailing boat. I shopped around and the cheapest I got interspeed for was £95 for 2.5 litres from Force 4 in Cardiff. Obviously, by the time you add on postage it could work out the same cost to go to somewhere locally and pay the bit extra. But at the time I was in Cardiff so I was able to pick it up from Force 4.

I believe there is somewhere around Honeyborough selling antifoul? I remember seeing a sign at the side of the road (just before you go over the Neyland bridge) and from memory it was reasonably priced, I think it was Seago antifouling but not 100% sure.
