Yikes! Please don't let anyone sand blast your hull. It'll make a mess out
of the gelcoat and really cause a blister problem long term. Stick with
chemical strippers or just plain old sanding.
As far as anti-fouling, I'd ask around locally. I get three years out of
Petit Trinidad SR here on the Gulf Coast (Texas / LA) but that might not
work as well where you are.
You might also look at Interlux's barrier coating process if you're taking
all the paint off anyway.
