What a foul dinghy!

[ash2020]

Moving on to your second question. . . . Flexible antifouling paint for PVC from Polymarine

View attachment 201008

I have no idea how good it will be. Probably not very but its only £93 a litre.

HOW MUCH !!!!!!. That is plainly ridiculous, although I suppose you could do 4 or 5 dinghy bottoms with a litre.

Ordinary antifoul is about £50 for 2.5 litres and this seems about 70 for 0.5 litres. So three and a half times as expensive. WTF!

Just inflatable every now and again, its not like a yacht that is hard to get up on dry land

I have read...er...somewhere, or someone parking a dinghy on a cheap ("thrift shop", so American) lilo which they threw away with its fouling at the end of the season. I'd have thought that must have been a very light dinghy, but maybe two lilos, or some other cheap floaty thing (2 PVC pipes?) would do it.

Alternatively an underwater cover sheet enclosing the bottom of your boat should be possible

Just got my dinghy out of the water. It's been tied up at the pontoon all season. Any ideas for shifting this lot? I've tried a pressure washer but it hardly touches it.

If and when I do get it clean, what to do next season? Normal antifoul paint?

Fairly obvious solution is just not leave it in the water - especially with the price of that antifouling which is eye watering.
