Just two coats of anti-foul paint sir?
Having been away for a month serving time bothering whales and dolphins in the Sea of Cortez off Baja California, hiking for four days across the Sierra del Lagoona and finally being delayed 12 days in Los Angeles on the way back to the UK its time to get back to some serious work of boat maintenance. There are some things that can not be avoided, unless you can afford a man that does. Painting the below water surfaces of the hull with special marine anti-foul paint is one. It’s a messy job and I loath it, not because its difficult or because I end up stinking of hideous chemicals but because it takes three hours and it’s tedious. Then wait 24 hours and do it all again for the second coat.
Don't park cars beneath boats, especially when the boat is being painted!
To make life more interesting some clown decided to park his expensive car underneath the boat. Lucky both car and boat paint were grey!
Use International VC17 m Extra anti-fouling, and you can do the second coat after 25 min. Have a good and safe trip around UK and Ireland.
