great white Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not at Cobbs but I have done a few trials over the years at Parkstone YC Finding that darker colours work best, but teh makes vary from year to year as to which is best We now use International Interspeed in Black on Alfresco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi Brian Have a look here https://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/antifouling at Jotun paints Used to use it on Lady C when moored down at the RNLI and it only seemed to get slim build up which washed off easily. As Charlie suggested found very dark colours worked best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 If you look inside the Cobbs Chandlers they usually have special offers on Anti foul. They sell huge amounts............ Buy the self eroding and self polishing one appropriate to the boat usage and speed. How often do you use the boat? Is it permanently in the water? If your usage is low and the boat isn't kept in the water - you don't need it all. And if it is just a garden ornament .......................

sparky Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I used to use International Micron 2 which was really good, bur it has got very expensive Brian. Tried Hempel Tiger Extra this year after lots recommendations from other members who use it , it seems ok at the moment and it is practically half the price of the International!

Jim Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Jim,s got one of those!!! : Indeed. Tiddler's been out once this year. Just start the engine every now & again to keep her running sweet. It'd be a great bargain if I ever decided to sell it ! Less use than a new one ! Still . . . . . . gives me somewhere to keep the plant pots. sparky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a BAR at Cobb's so if you just happen to get dehydrated whilst on the water you could top up your fluid levels. Wouldn't have crossed your mind I expect.

Maverick Martin Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Brian I have used seajet 033 shogun antifouling paint in black for the past 2 years with decent results Brian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher 126 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I use the same as Mick and since I started to use it in black the hull only gets a slime on it after a year, may be if I could go faster most of that would wash off!!! .

Ark Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Brian Welcome to the council estate 👍👍 Well that's what all those posh people call it on A & B 🤓🤓 Don't forget you can get a discount if someone introduces you, if it's still going Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Brian, I agree with Mick on the Hempel Tiger Extra - I changed to it and it was the best product I have used for many years - and at a good discount at the Cobbs Chandlers. Try getting into the dry stack - no anti foul required and a quick phone call before leaving home and it's in the water ready to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've done the deed, got a berth on F pontoon. I've been dry stored at Rockley, but want the option of going out in the evening at short notice. jerry.shutter, Jim and Leicester Fisheagle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
