[Rhodes22-list] Antifouling paint

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Rummy,

One more paint:  E-paint Ecominder.  I've had this paint on our boat since
it was new in 2010, with touch-ups once or twice, in the spring, to the
areas I can reach while the boat's on the trailer.  It's a hard paint,
water-based, with no metals.  I believe the manufacturer calls it more of a
release coating than a strong anti-fouling paint.  They also say it's
photo-ablative in sunlight, which works very well to keep the paint at the
waterline  clean.  (Unfortunately, our boat normally sits in a central Ohio
lake that's so thick with algae, mud and whatever else that the sunlight
can't reach more than a couple inches below the water surface.) The paint
cleans easily with a pressure washer in the fall.

Steve.
Granville, OH

I'm finally healthy enough to start cleaning and getting RumRunner ready to
sail again. I'm rebuilding the galley and doing a few other things inside,
but  the real project will be the bottom antifouling coating. I have been
using  Micron CSC with fairly good results, but I thought I would ask the
list for  recommendations from fresh water sailors. I'm looking for a multi
year coating  as I hate pulling and dunking just for bottom paint.
 
Rummy
