In short
When a boatyard asks for a hull to be stripped, find out which layer should remain. Removing an old antifouling coating, exposing a previous repair and preparing steel for a new coating are three different orders. Ask the yard to approve a test patch on the actual hull.
From a test patch to a yard quotation
Take the finish, access under the keel and handover time to the yard manager before quoting. An SB-500 Trailer brings compressed air to the haul-out area. Agree where the trailer can stand and how spent coating will be collected. A sample and a clear handover give the yard a basis for booking its next vessel.
Offer the yard three separate scopes: trial removal of antifouling, cleaning metal fittings and preparing a steel area to the painter’s specification. Access under the boat and the handling of removed material belong in each quotation. Agree the date with the person responsible for the next repair stage.
