With the development of high copper content bottom paints, I think
copper sheething is largely unneeded now. Especially in small boats.
It was really developed to stop torpedo worms, not to prevent the
clingy growth or sculch and mulch.
An inexpensive, yet extremely effective, option is to add a can of
hot chili powder to each can of high copper paint you're using, have
them shook together, and slap it on.

Just rising, after sleeping in til 10 am on a beautiful 20 degree
Centigrade (70 F) scattered cloud Floria day. Ahhhhh.... A warm
computer, a hot mug of French roast, some plywood ready to be cut with
a borrowed jig saw, Sammy Adams cooling in the fridge.
Waiting for Lenihan to show up with the Bras D'or.

Depends on how big the boat is.
How long will it last?
Depends on quality of copper sheathing and salinity of water etc...
How does one attch it to the hull?
Depends on chosen method of construction for"next" boat.
Suggestion: Choose design first and discuss this particular method of
anti-fouling with designer.

I'm in the process of antifouling my Micro which is moored in a bay
near my house in Sydney. I read somewhere (? BWAOM) that Bolger
specified copper sheathing for one of his designs. Does anyone have
any experience with copper sheathing a boat? How thick does it have
to be? How long will it last? How does one attch it to the hull? I
wont sheath my Micro, but maybe the next boat I build which is on a
permanent mooring!
