Antifouling protection is essential for maintaining yacht performance and protecting the hull from marine growth. The right product choice depends on your cruising pattern, speed, and environmental regulations.
Types of Antifouling
Ablative (Self-Polishing)
Paint wears away gradually, constantly exposing fresh biocide. Ideal for yachts that travel at varying speeds.
Hard Antifouling
Durable coating that withstands high speeds and abrasion. Best for fast powerboats, requires scrubbing.
Silicone/Fouling Release
Biocide-free ultra-slick surface. Fouling slides off at speed. Eco-friendly but requires higher cruising speed.
Application Process
Hull Preparation
Pressure wash, remove old antifouling, sand to smooth surface.
Repair & Fair
Fill osmosis blisters, repair gelcoat damage, fair imperfections.
Primer Application
Apply epoxy primer for adhesion and osmosis protection.
Antifouling Coats
Apply 2-3 coats, extra on high-wear areas (waterline, leading edges).
