I wonder if there is some way to copper sheath a fiberglass hull?


Sure. Bottom paint.


I think he mean International Hard Racing Copper Antifouling.

Are we still allowed to use it? In fact is copper-based antifouling not
banned, along with everything else? Over here TBT (TriButylTin) was banned
for pleasure craft years ago, and I seem to remember copper-based paint was
also banned, but could be mistaken.
