15.2 LIFTING
- Before the first application of antifouling to the hull, you can lightly the hull using 400 µm or
more wet and dry sandpaper.
- The lower hull of your boat should be covered with an anti-fouling paint which will prevent the
adhesion of marine growth.
- The nature of the water where you keep your boat and the frequency of lifting it out
determines the choice of antifouling.
- All bronze or steel surfaces, including the propellers, should be protected by a suitable
antifoul paint.
- During lift-outs, check the anodes, cutlass bearing and propeller (see corresponding
chapters).
If cleaning off existing antifouling requires high pressure washing:
- Ensure the water temperature does not exceed 15 degrees;
- The water pressure must not exceed 150 bars;
- The distance between the hose nozzle and the hull must not be less than 10 centimetres.
The wet surface area of the boat is about: 11 m².
Before applying the antifoul NEVER:
- Do any sandblasting;
- Use any other solvents than ethylic alcohol;
- Use detergents under pressure;
- Use scrapers;
- Use grinding tools.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations scrupulously when applying
antifouling.
- Never cover with antifouling:
- the anodes;
- the sea water strainers;
- the sensors of the electronic instruments.
- Avoid using copper or tin-based antifouling: these are banned in some
countries.
