Here are some pics , boat went in the water August last year

Hi, yes the brown is rust , so have stripped the hull to bare steel to start again. Jotun jotamastic 90 and then vinygaurd 87 and finally CU pro antifoul. I’ll check the anodes and replace if required.

Hi Tony thanks for coming back to me, the boat was moored in Belgium which we believe is salt water as it’s tidal so probably zinc. I’ll try your experiment and see what happens. regards Matt

Just another quick question, is there away to tell if you have zinc or magnesium anodes Thanks

sorry my mistake it’s silvergrey 88 which was recommended by SML , which also recommended SML CU-PRO antifoul so I think we will stick to there recommendations

Hi, I wonder if you might be able to give us some advice. We have recently bought our first boat a 1978 12m Dutch steel cruiser. We live in France and the boat will be used on the french rivers and canals. When we had it surveyed the hull paint was in poor condition so we have taken it back to bare steel. We have purchased a 2 pack epoxy Jotun jotamastic 90 and vinygaurd 87 and we’re going to antifoul over the top. But have seen several people talking about blacking instead if it’s not in salt water. Has any one got any advice as we have no experience in either. Many Thanks
