Boat Antifouling in sydney
how often should my boat get antifouled?
What is Antifoul?
Antifouling is the process of protecting your hull from marine growth by applying a protective paint layer to the bottom of your boat.
Why Should I Antifoul?
If your boat lives on the water, then marine particles and growth can build-up on the underside of your hull over time. This growth of marine algaes can significantly affect the performance of your hull and your fuel efficiency. Heavy levels of growth on the hull can slow powerboats by more than 5knots and could increase fuel consumption by over
30%.
How often should I Antifoul?
The frequency of antifouling depends on the usage and storage of your boat. Boats that live afloat or that are used regularly should be checked every year to assess whether it needs reapplying.
Why is Anti-fouling important?
Anti-fouling protects the hull with a layer of protective paint, which helps to prevent and detach marine life as it moves through the water. Not a standard paint, anti-fouling paint contains an anti-bacterial compound and other chemicals specifically designed to obstruct the growth of marine life on your boat.
