Tear up a strip of rag (or two) - tie around your wrists - you end up with red / blue / whatever colour rings round your wrists but no paint up in your armpits..........
Good for when you are rubbing down with wet and dry as well.....

No-drips this year
I won't have any probs with messy antifouling this year as I only do the job alternate years so I won't bother doing it this year 
It helps having a mooring in a river bed too!

Scrubbable stuff
.
We put three layers of XM on top of a primer layer before setting off for our Atlantic cruise. I scrubbed the hull (not the keel) three times - just from the water, nothing particularly strenuous - and there was nothing left in places, particullllllarly round the waterline.
If/when we go again would I be better off with hard a/f and if so do I have to take all the old stuff off? I want something that can be left for maybe a couple of years but scrubbed regularly using a mask and snorkel (and a sponge or similar scrubby implement, before someone says something )
