Has anyone any experience of having their old antfoul blasted off? Was it successful? Any suggestions on best place to get this done within the Solent? Many thanks.
(The boat is too big to scrape by hand or to liberally apply chemicals.)
 
Had my last boat slurry blasted and it did an excellent job. Bucklers Hard Boat Builders used a sub-contractor, who came and cleaned a few hulls on the same day, so I can't help you with a name. Great way to get layers of crusty antifouling off and key the surface for new primer, but I wouldn't like to do it too often.
 
Over the winter, I saw at least half a dozen boats treated with slurry, at Quay Lane Boatyard, in Gosport. They used a contractor who took half a day to do the job, and I think he came from the Poole area.
