One of the other residents clubs has a Bahia which was left on the water in a salt water dock.  Barnacles and other sea growth were growing well.  They now keep it ashore and had trouble removing the growth.  It wasn't antifouled at all ! 
My answer being its not non-stick to marine growth

Well, if they mean you might have trouble getting antifouling to stick, then they are probably right.

If they are suggesting rotomoulded boats don't get fouled then I'd suggest they are talking b&*^cks

Just asked Laser Performance if their Bahias need antifouling if left on a mooring. They said no because they are roto-moulded.

Has anyone got experience of roto-moulds on moorings, and/or antifouling them?
