More CoverageCoppercoat® pays for itself ten times over, in it's first season! Poole Harbour.
Back in March, Steve Blanchard of Poole Sea Safari (www.pooleseasafari.com) had Coppercoat® applied to his commercial rib. The smooth and non-absorbent epoxy surface gave immediate improvements in hull speed and efficiency, so much so in fact that Steve calculated his fuel saving this year alone will more than recoup the cost of his Coppercoat® application.…

Mr L. Westerly Griffin, Town Quay, Southampton, Applied April 2010. “Best thing I ever did! Wonderful stuff!” (Mr L. called our office to check when he bought his Coppercoat®.
