Wetted-area calculator

Pick a boat from … measured hulls and see its underwater area three different ways, then turn whichever figure you trust into a tin count for your own antifouling.

Nothing picked yet.

Average freeboard isn't part of the measured records — it is short for the height of the hull side above the waterline, averaged from bow to stern, and it is only needed for the topsides and total-area rows below. Type in your own boat's, or a rough guess, to see those two rows.

Underwater area — three estimates

Three different approximations, kept separate rather than averaged into one number.

Antifouling paint

Coverage and coats are your tin's own figures — read them off the tin rather than trusting the defaults below, which are typical figures, not yours.
