Hi everybody. I've just had my 385 hauled out today up here in Scotland and this will be the first time I have antifouled her myself.
Currently, she has Micron Extra on. I would like to keep her afloat for 24 months if possible and judging by the state of her hull after 18 months afloat without a lift, this looks feasible as there is very little fouling at all. Does anybody know the area in square meters of the underside so I can work out how much I need. I tried using the International website calculator but I find it hard to believe their result! I must be doing something wrong. Also, any recommendations for antifoul would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Geoff & Beverley |

I use 3 x 1 US gallon (3.8 litres) cans on my 370. I apply it with a roller and get two full coats plus an extra coat on the high wear areas plus around the waterline.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to go for about 5 litres to start and then buy another 2.5 as needed.

The amount of antifouling depends on:
1. area where your bearth is, 2. Amount of sailing days and days in harbour 3. Temperature 4. Salt or lakewater and so on. With the same antifouling you can have good results in one area and in anther maybe bad results.... Try to find out how much you really need in the next years. My boat is berthed in a big Lake called ijsselmeer in netherlands. I sail aslo a lot on the north sea. We use from the forst day micron extra For the saildrive i use trilux My results: 1st Year 5-6l mircon 2-3 layers following international, result no growth only some slime 2nd Year same, result the same 3rd Year 1-2 layers of antifouling, Result the same 4th year 1 layer, result the same 5th year 1 layer antifouling thinned with about 10% thinner, result the same 6th year 1 layer antifouling thinned with about 20% thinner, result the same 7th year 1 thin and fast painted layer of thinned antifouling, result... I will see next week and will report. Today i need maximum 2,5l of antifouling each year. But as i wrote; It depends on many things..... Edited by Peter-Blake - 21 October 2014 at 13:54 |

I spend about 6 litres of International Micron EU on my 385 in Norway, giving her one coating only each year.
The boat is on the water all time. Taking her up yearly, its only some slime on the hull, easy to remove. |
