UNDERWATER STRUCTURE
9.2.1.
HULL
An antifouling protects the underwater structure against fouling by marine growths that run
down the performance and sailing ability of the boat. It is applied on the hull section that is
immersed in water and up to about 100 to 150 mm above the waterline or up to the top
stripe. It needs to be serviced at least once a year.
For a new boat it is very important to observe the following steps:
Use a 95% proof alcohol to remove all traces of the mould release agents and then wipe with
absorbent paper or cloth.
To prepare the hull for the antifouling, gently sand it with sandpaper (400 grade).
Rinse thoroughly with cold fresh water without applying pressure or detergent and allow it
to dry.
Apply the antifouling with a spray gun or a roller in accordance with the antifouling
manufacturer’s instructions.
For maintenance of the hull follow the next steps:
Remove all algae and shells using a brush and fresh water.
When cleaning with a high pressure hose and cold water, do not bring the hose any
closer than 0,5 m.
Allow the hull to dry.
