Coppercoat on a Westerly Conway
Nice to read a review from a happy customer who has experience of Coppercoat in various environments. The conditions in the Baleric’s and Portsmouth could hardly be more different and it’s great to see that Coppercoat’s performance is satisfying the customer equally as well. ” I am now 5 years into second application. Am now in…
More CoverageCoppercoat real world experiences on a Windy 37
The following is a comment from a Coppercoat user on the YBW.com forums. This shows the type of performance you can expect when using Coppercoat as your antifoul: “Again Coppercoat. I have had it on for 3 years now – works excellent. 42 knots top speed in our Windy 37 HT 2 x KAD 300 when…
More Coverage"Rock Star" Catamaran Jimmy and Coppercoat
We received this lovely review of Coppercoat from Ricco in New Zealand. His catamaran “Jimmy” is certainly a striking vessel! We treat a disproportionately large amount of catamarans, mainly because lifting this sort of boat is difficult and expensive, so the ability to clean the hull in the water and not having to repaint is…

A Clipper 70 being sand blasted. Over the last six months, the Clipper Race fleet of twelve 70-foot ocean racing yachts has been given a makeover of mighty proportions in preparation for the Clipper 2017-18 Race.

More Coverage13 Years, 3 Boats and 3 Children.
For many of us, sailing around the world is a dream. The time, commitment and finances reqired often make this dream impossible. In 2003 Matthieu Fleury, and his partner Soizic, realised this dream and began a 3 year circumnavigation. 13 years, 3 boats and 3 children later, this dream has become their life. In 2003, Matt…

More CoverageNot your run of the mill Coppercoat application!
Over the years some strange things have had a Coppercoat application. Subbuteo Buoys in Barcelona harbour, a chandelier in Stringfellows nightclub, even the raised bed in my front garden have all been Coppercoated! However, I think this is our first Nuclear Diffuser Dome!
More CoverageAbrading Coppercoat.
I recently came across this thread on the YBW forum about abrading Coppercoat and it was nice to read of a customer doing this after 12 years and having a clean hull after 18 months afloat, even in a high fouling area like Sant Carles!: Abrading Coppercoat Should I be abrading Coppercoat? We are often…
More CoverageCoppercoat Long Life Antifoul!
This morning I called into Cobb’s Quay in Dorset, to a yacht we treated in 1994, near the start of Coppercoat’s history. Jayson and Ewan, the two founders of Coppercoat, treated this boat themselves. “Nickla Thyse”, a Moody 336, has recently changed hands and the new owner has decided to apply a new treatment of…
More CoverageCoppercoat on a Riostar 130 Superyacht.
Our Brazilian distributor, Marcos Agra, recently sent us some pictures of Coppercoat on a Riostar 130 Superyacht. This brand new Superyacht, built by Riostar Yachts of Brazil, has a copper coloured super structure with a cream top. I think this looks brilliant with the Coppercoat hull!
