Nerdiness Qoutient: 4/10

It’s been two years since the boat was last out of the water, so it was time to lift it out.

In our home port, the port side is most prone to fouling as it faces the sun. The hull was coated with Jotun's Supreme antifouling paint in 2024. Last summer, I dived under the boat and gave the hull a light brush, so I was prepared for heavy fouling this time. However, that was not the case.

The propeller has been coated with silicone-based PropSpeed antifouling paint and was last painted in 2023. We found it quite effective, so even though it's expensive, we´ll try it again.

The same applies to the antifouling paint on the hull, although Jotun Supreme is more expensive than other brands. Jotun claims that it will last for two years with just one coat, so all in all it will not be more expensive after all. Experience has shown this to be the case, and the saying certainly applies here: Never change a winning team.
