Our best antifouling is called snow. It keeps the boats out of the water and therefore not fouled

Used it for 4 years. Very slippery and required if you want to sail to PHRF rating. Miss one tack and throw that away. I think a grey auto primer would work as well. Had to scrub the bottom before each race (mfr design criteria) and minimum every two weeks or the buildup would require major efforts to remove. Micron 66 worked so much better, I tell everyone about it. Almost zero buildup without diving/scrubbing. But of course Interlux does not recommend Micron 66 for brackish water, where I keep the boat now? Gotta find a new paint for racing Chesapeake Bay, so I'm watching the list comments.

That explains why VC17 is like plant food in Lake Winnipeg. I have to de-slime the bottom 3 times per season. At least the boat looks really pretty going in each spring!
