We had Seahawk 44 applied in Trinidad. We were then in the water of the Eastern Caribbean for five months, mostly anchored with only about 180 hours of movement. I checked the bottom every few weeks and found no growth. When we were hauled the bottom was clean and only a power wash was required. This is in contrast to our first year in the Caribbean when we had applied an ablative paint from the US. With the US paint we had to clean the bottom every three weeks. Perhaps the water was cooler this year or perhaps it was the bottom paint. Marty Campanella Bay Pelican KK42 Enjoying the off season on land.

Note everyone Seahawk 44 contains tin so is banned in many countries for pleasure boats.
