How many litres of Antifouling

Post by Bo Wetzel »

Whats the hull area of the DF920 for antifouling ?

Can anybody tell me what the overall area of the hull(s) is when it comes to anti-fouling? Many thanks.

I don't know the hull area for antifouling, but one 2.5 litre tin of antifoul is sufficient for mine. It will do everywhere once and leave some left over for a second coat in areas of high wear or fouling, i.e. the foils and just below the waterline.
I used International Cruiser Uno this year. I sail all year and it is just starting to wear out after 9 months of sailing. The paint wearing thin during the winter is not a problem in the UK as there is very little marine growth now anyway.
