Depending on its size, you can do this yourself or use a commercial slipway or dry dock. Chemical paint removers can save you some elbow grease, but they too involve a health hazard. If you do decide to use a third-party contractor to remove the anti-foul, you may still want to organise it so you can personally inspect the hull, keel and any other underwater parts...

Let us come to you. Apart from the unavoidable ravages of use and friction, the greatest danger to your machinery is damage to the material it's made of rust being the prime culprit.

How you can limit the environmental impact of abrasive blasting/sand blasting

http://www.taurangasandblasting.co.nz/79-articles/19-how-you-can-limit-the-environmental-impact-of-abrasive-blasting-sand-blasting

Let us come to you. The main environmental risk with abrasive blasting lies with the abrasive material used and how it is contained. The crystals are chemically inert, so even if garnet dust finds its way into the natural environment, it adds nothing but bulk nothing that will affect the ecosystem it enters. When abrasive blasting has to be done outdoors, temporary skirts or curtains can contain the spread of particles. A concrete pad or slipway makes it easy to collect the abrasive material.

Your options to achieve effective anti-fouling

http://www.taurangasandblasting.co.nz/79-articles/18-your-options-to-achieve-effective-anti-fouling

Let us come to you. From just about the time people started building boats, they've tried to keep the hulls foul-free. The fact is that many marine animals and plants consider boat hulls a perfect place to live. That, of course, makes it harder for your vessel to move through the water, so you need more and more energy for less and less movement. The challenge for paint manufacturers since then has been to develop an anti-fouling paint that works as well as TBT, but without the harmful side effects. ...
