I get two coats for my 9.2 out of a 4l can,but admit they are thin ones. It's important to avoid build up on the non-wear surfaces so I use different colours. The underlying colour is black, and then two thin coats of green. When I haul out, I can see where the green has worn by the black showing through, and I only put this year's antifouling on those thin areas. Otherwise, the stuff builds up and every so often you have to do the unenviable job of scraping- ugh! great tip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They last about 1/2 a coat on my 1020, so I go through four sleeves doing 2 coats, plus a few more for the sail drive and extra coats on rudder and leading edges. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex SanFran 15 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 This year, to be different, I'm going to out two coats of different AFs on each side, just to see how easy goes. I usually go with No 5 but in Tamaki River it just don't last. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
