    I'm finished with antifouling paint.  I spent about twice as much and put on coppercoat.  Hauled for the first time in 4 years in May. Water blast and wipe with a scotchbrite pad and it's  like new. Financially I'm ahead and the marketing says it's good for 10 years.

    Thanks BP. Very helpful. I just googled Coppercoat & got Parker Marine Group. Does it need to be ordered from there or do other retailers have it?

    Hi all

    I have a 26 foot keeler moored at Little Bucklands Beach in Auckland. I enjoy weekend cruising either day sails or overnight.

    As soon as lock down is over I will be looking for crew again. If you are interested in finding out more, please message me your email address & mobile number.

    Thanks

    Hi team. Just a question on Altex No.5 ablative antifouling. I have used it on 5 different keelers over 20 years. My current boat is not a race boat but a Cavalier 26 but I do use it most weekends. I generally haul out every 12 months & apply 2 coats. Upon relaunch I find that the antifoul lasts 4 or 5 months before I start to see a film of slime build up. Initially I used to get in the water & gave the boat a wipe down but found that clouds of antifoul came off. This resulted in the next layer of slime building up that much quicker. Not rocket science really! The last 2 years I haven't wiped down. Upon haul out, there has been some fouling with some barnacles. What are people's thoughts? Leave well alone or wipe off & if so how often? Does anyone go for a lift, wash & back in bearing in mind that this is a cruising boat only? Thanks for your thoughts & advice.

    Just a reminder about the long weekend coming up this weekend. Thanks to those who have got back to me saying that they can't make it however at this stage I haven't got any crew so if anyone wants to come out for a 3 day 2 night trip then please let me know. I can take 1 couple + a single or 2 singles.
     
    I am also open to other suggestions ie 1 overnight instead of 2 or just a day sail or 2.
