This shows how quick an application of Coppercoat™ can be. Bear in mind that this is a heavily built Cheoy Lee Trawler 46. There appears to be three guys painting, they started painting at 09.30 and had finished the application to the port side by around 15.00.

We are pleased to announce a special 25% discount offer with Sealift2 International Ltd for all Coppercoat™ customers.

Any boat using our award winning Coppercoat™ anti-foul is eligible for a 25% discount on a standard one hour, lift-and-clean service at the Sealift2 floating dry docks at Haslar Marina, Gosport and Medina River, Cowes. This lift can also be used as a convenient and cost effective way to check the hull, clean the prop and change the anodes. This offer is valid for all lift-and-clean services taken up to 28^th February 2013.

In addition to the above offer, any new customers that purchase Coppercoat™ anti-foul before 31^st January 2013 will be issued with a 25% discount voucher for a standard one hour lift-and-clean service, valid through to 31^st December 2013.

Sealift2 offers fast, cost effective, one hour, lift-and-clean services together with hull polishing and other marine maintenance services for most boats of up to 65ft in length and 50 tons in weight.  Sealift2 does not use lifting strops so there are no unwanted stresses applied to your hull.  Boats stand on their keels with the entire below water line area available for cleaning, so there are no strop marks.

To book your discounted lift (and to confirm the eligibility of your boat) contact Sealift2 by telephone 02392 580870 or email Haslar@sealift2.com.

As usual we will be exhibiting Coppercoat™ at the forthcoming Southampton International Boat Show, between September 14^th to 23^rd. We will be in our traditional location in the Windward Hall and will be offering a good discount and some freebies to all those who place orders for Coppercoat™ at or during the Show.

We are pleased to announce that Coppercoat™ anti-foul has now been certified by Lloyd’s Register. This means that it can now be used on ships that are built and managed to Lloyd’s Register specifications. Therefore Coppercoat™ can now be used by even the largest commercial ships and super-yachts as well as personal leisure boats. (Certificate copies available on request)

I am sure you are all aware of Rachel and Paul Chandler’s harrowing ordeal in 2009. It is nice to see they are planning on finishing their trip. Having Coppercoated™ their yacht during the refit, at least their anti-fouling is something they will not have to worry about, leaving them free to avoid those pirates! Good luck Rachel and Paul from all here at Coppercoat™.

Yesterday I had the rare opportunity to enjoy a sunny afternoon at Dell Quay Yacht Yard. Whilst there I took a few pictures of some of the boats present using Coppercoat™. These boats included the owner of the yards personal fishing boat and a yacht I remember supplying 20 years ago. I was pleased to see and hear how well these boats are performing. I must get out more often! (Please note the boats which are still brown are newly treated and yet to be launched and hence have yet to turn to the normal verdigris colour.)

We are delighted to have won the prestigious Eco Friendly Business category of the Asian Marine & Boating Awards 2011, held in conjunction with the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show. The award was presented to Nigel MacFarlane (Coppercoat™ representative for Hong Kong) by Yang Xin Fa (Secretary General of the Chinese Boatbuilding Association) at a gala dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel in Shanghai.

It is very rare for any anti-foul to receive an award for being environmentally friendly, so this is a major coup for us and welcome recognition that Coppercoat™ is an environmentally sensible choice.

By commonly remaining effective for between 10 to 20 years, anti-fouling a boat once with low-leaching Coppercoat™ is clearly far more responsible than re-anti-fouling every year with a standard eroding anti-foul paint. And you don’t have 10 to 20 years worth of painting apparel such as rollers, brushes, tins and plastic paints trays to bury in a landfill site either!

At the recent London Boat Show it was great to catch up with old customers, Sue and Stuart from Sails and Summits, who Coppercoated their Dufour 455 ”Esseness” 3 years ago. They were planning on lifting her out for her first lift since being treated and promised to send us pictures of the results. Whilst we don’t as a rule recommend that you leave a  boat in the water for 3 years without a clean, it does show what Coppercoat™ is capable of. If you are looking for a holiday with a difference, why not check out their website www.sailsandsummits.co.uk/

Below are the pictures of “Esseness” when lifted:

As many of you will have seen in the past, there are always a good number of new boats treated with Coppercoat™ at boat shows all around the world. During a quiet five minutes at the recent London International Boat show, I took the opportunity to take a few pictures of some of the boats present treated with Coppercoat™. If any of you have any more pictures of boats showing off their Coppercoat™, please email them to me at info@coppercoat.com. Just some of the manufacturers we currently supply at a build stage are Sessa, Sunseeker, Cornish Crabbers, Solaris, Southerly, Najad, Discovery and Hanse.

The Medway (or as it’s known locally, The Mudway!) is a notoriously bad area in the UK for marine fouling. The following picture was posted on a well known yachting forum.  It is rare to have Coppercoat™ tested against a traditional antifoul on the same boat. By the way, Coppercoat™ is the clean product on the keel not the barnacle covered blue product on the hull…!
