weed on hull

lads came back to the boat after 3 weeks and theres a growth of weed all on one side and stern of the boat
dident expect this as i anti fouled this in april any ideas about how to get it off without taking the boat out?

Hi Twinkle,
I have the exact same problem with my boat (Orkney520) which is moored on the same chain as your boat in Howth. I also antifouled the hull last april and recently noted alot of growth below the waterline on the portside and aft under the transom. I think as our boats are moored on three point moorings (ie not swinging moorings) the sunshine will promote growth on only certain areas of the hull. I was thinking (well hoping really) if we ever get some decent weather, of beaching the boat, possibly on Irelands eye over a tide and giving the bottom a scrub. I know a few of the lads on the same mooring chain as us do this. Now we have a solution the only other requirement would be a deck scrubber and fine summers day, what you think the chances of that are???
Regards Nick.

sounds like a good idea but i thought anti foul was supposed to not let it happen when you spend 100 euros on paint surely
it should get you at least a season? are some paints better than others? i used international brand it was recomended dont think id buy it again

Lads, I get the lads in the yacht club to lift mine out ( € 38 ).I then use their Power Hose's to clean the hull down.

Saves wrecking the hull with anti foul and works out a lot cheaper too !!

youll be giving them another 38euros this week paul yours is the same lol but that will do me fair play to you experiance you
cant buy it.
