On the Eastern Shore, a local J-80 was dry sailed. If she was launched for a
Wednesday race, she needed a quick 'floss' (dragging a bed sheet from side to
side) for Saturday. Last year, we (another J-80) had one year old Vivid and a
diver every other week - noticed some drag so had the diver come weekly, which
we also did on our 30-1 with year old Hydrocoat. We are hoping fresh Hydrocoat
SR will last two weeks and the same with some fresh Vivid on the 80. We got a
deal on diving because I moved Penniless next to the 80 so the diver could get
two at a time.
If all this doesn't make sense, the ex-Admiral sails the 30 and I crew on an 80
and race the 30 on some Sundays.

Most of the race boats in Annapolis are painted and have weekly cleanings!
If you dive and have Wednesdays free you can pick up some good money!
J30 class rules prohibit dry sailing, and no one dares go bare.

Some of the 'sport boats' at our club don't use any antifouling paint and
haul regularly with our 5 ton crane to clean ....by regularly, probably monthly.
You say you have a monthly scrubbing by a diver....why bother with an
antifouling paint with a monthly scrubbing?

I have had Trinidad on the bottom for three years without a haulout, but
with monthly scrubbing by a diver. It still has plenty of potency. I figure I
will haul at around five years.

Thanks
Currently have Petit Vivid on our boat. Am assuming is much the same as
Micron CSC in its use and anti fouling effectiveness

+ 1 on Petit Trinidad. It is the #1 recommended paint for overall
effectiveness / durability in these here parts.. I'm not in salt water (But I
am in a warm climate that is very conducive to slime) so far (1 year) it lives
up to the hype and the bottom is completely slime / growth free / smooth /
fast.
Trinidad is not an ablative, it's modified epoxy hard paint that
burnishes to a really smooth finish if you're so inclined (And your rotator
cuffs can stand the abuse.. OUCH). I am told that if you are in an area where
you have to haul-out in the winter, a light sanding or bronze wool burnishing
in the spring will re-activate / supercharge the growth killing copper action.

I used the Micron ablative paints in South Florida about 11 years ago.
They're not good for the subtropics. Growth is quick, and the bottom is near
impossible to clean in the water, unless you like being covered in toxic
chemicals. Petite Trinidad is the way to go here.
