I've always hauled Orla every three years or so and antifouled her, a suitable hoist never being that far away.
Now she is going to be on a mooring all year round and would have to make a special trip to get her lifted.
Before I take her out of the shed I was thinking of sanding off all the old antifoul and applying copper, does anybody have any experience of doing this and if so which did you use....
Lots on-line about Copper Coat, not a lot about C-Guard..
Cheers

Re: Copper Coat or C-Guard
A chum used the Reactive Resins variety of coating after having a good research among the options. The hull was blasted clean - manually would be a right pain. I helped him tosh the stuff on and it was straightforward enough. Results? Well not a miracle cure but he reckons it keeps the gunge off for longer and any slime wipes off easily.
