Most vessels should be slipped and antifouled every 12 months as a general guideline, however this can vary depending on how the vessel is used and where it is kept.
Vessels that are used frequently, kept in warm waters, or remain stationary for long periods tend to experience faster marine growth and may require more regular attention. Location also plays a significant role, as different waterways have varying levels of fouling activity.
The type and quality of antifoul previously applied will also impact how long the coating remains effective. Higher-grade systems, when applied correctly, can provide longer protection, but still require annual inspection to ensure performance.
Regular slipping allows for early identification of any issues below the waterline, ensuring the antifoul system is still performing as intended and helping to avoid more costly repairs over time.
If you are unsure what schedule is right for your vessel, we can assess and provide recommendations based on your usage and conditions.
