Bottom paint is a protective coating applied below a yacht’s waterline to prevent marine growth like barnacles and algae, which can slow the vessel and damage the hull.
When to Reapply:
Annual Maintenance: Typically every 1–2 years, depending on use and conditions.
Visible Growth or Performance Drop: Signs of fouling mean it’s time for fresh paint.
New Yacht or Worn Paint: Ensure proper protection before hitting the water.
Pre-Season Prep: Apply before launching for the season.
Hull Damage: Repair compromised areas to maintain performance and protection.
