How to Keep Your Boat in the Water for Years on End | ⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵

Annual haulouts can cost a fortune and you lose valuable boating time. The strategy we use allows the boat to stay in the water for years on end!

I applied a hard copper-based epoxy to the boat several years ago. Although it doesn’t stop marine growth (we keep our boat in an extremely high marine-growth area) it does prevent it from attaching properly so you can scrape months of growth off with a few hours hard work and a mask and snorkel. This kind of bottom paint is so hard that it will resist years of these scraping treatments, without having to be repainted.
This means your annual antifouling and haulout fees are exactly $0 (This is our favourite price!)
Some viewers have suggested wearing ear plugs while you do this so that marine life doesn’t move into your ear. I’ve never worn earplugs, and have never had a problem… it’s up to you.
⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵ brings you the sailing shenanigans of Chris (British) and Rossella (Italian), as we sail our 30ft sloop. We make sailing vlogs of our cruising adventures and share any tips and tricks we can along the way. After all, sailors are one big family!
