Hi All
The time is nearly here to slip our boat and re antifoul. I understand the difference between hard and soft antifouling, but can anybody give a true indication of the speed difference between them.

Hi Offshore,
this will be great to follow ;D,
hard or soft go for colour and gray looks fast. Planky goes with VC offshore and "thinks" it worth 0.3 - 0.4knot, he is the only one I know of with some speed indications, but I'm sure the 2 of you have covered that.
I have Micron Extra...yes gray on, has held up fine sofare, the big thing for us was to get all the trees blasted off at slip time, remove the crabpot's from the keel, that was worth 5-6-7knots ......not
Cheers

a plain hull, probably a tenth of a knot to hard pain. now if you fair the bottom/keel etc, that is usually good for .2-.4 knots total with hard paint per local racers and the shops that do the work. A couple of local boats I race against all have faired hulls and keels, I have a generally speaking, hard time keeping up with them in lighter to med airs. Heavy it is not too bad, but still a bit slower.
