anti fouling

Faster is right. Trailer sailers and dry-racers can have a beautiful wet sanded hull that is so slippry and slidey with never more than a few days growth to scrub off in your case. Anti fouling is expensive, many kinds demand that they are immersed soon and continuously thereafter or they loose their effect, and lets face it, they fall under the nasty poison catagory so with everything to gain, and nothing to loose why would you bother with it? Make her bottom smooth and shiny and if she is still slow, you can't blame her bottom.
Good sailing
