Do you understand that antifouling is a potentially hazardous substance? Do you wear gloves and a mask
when applying it? Do you ensure you don’t spill the stuff everywhere? I’ll bet your answer to all of these
questions is “yes”. Yet the European Union’s health and safety team has suddenly become concerned that the
opposite is true. And consequently there’s a chance that parts of the EU might ban private boat owners from
applying antifouling themselves. One reader emailed me to say: “If DIY antifouling is banned, the price for my
family to have our 34ft Buchanan hauled out and commercially done each year would bring a close to our boat
ownership.” Plan B would see antifoul not banned, but weakened until pointless. All power to the British
Coatings Federation, which is lobbying to have this ludicrous measure stopped in its tracks (see p12).ROB PEAKE, EDITORGLOVES ARE ON (AND OFF)
