Coppercoat Antifoul
Customer Testimonials
I applied Coppercoat® in 1999 (13 years ago) and only now is it starting to lose some coverage. Brilliant product!

“Best thing I ever did! Wonderful stuff!” (Mr L. called our office to check when he bought his Coppercoat®. Evidently his son couldn’t believe how clean it was and thought the boat had only been in the water one year since treating, not the actual two.)

Coppercoat® I gave to my boat ten years ago (Applied 2002) and I’m happy. It still works but needs a renovation.

We coated our boat in 2008 and it has been very successful.

Our experience with Coppercoat has been fantastic. In all the 14 years we’ve never had a barnacle, seaweed, nothing…. The original claim for our Coppercoat was that it would last 10 years and many people were sceptical. Our test proves the doubters wrong.

“Applied Coppercoat® about 3 years ago. First Class, no complaints”

I personally wouldn’t use any other anti-fouling on any vessel I own in the future. The savings over the minimum 10 year period of its life expectancy will be quite considerable. When compared with using regular anti-foul, applying Coppercoat will save me nearly £3,900!

“Coppercoat-Superyacht…has a much smaller environmental impact than traditional eroding solutions. It’ll operate on any clean hull – composite, steel, aluminium. A decade between treatments is possible. The formula’s strong matrix allows for periodic scrubbing.”
Paul Ashton

We first used Coppercoat nearly 25 years ago on one of our High performance Dazcat catamarans, since then our use of Coppercoat has continued to increase to the point where we now offer Coppercoat on all of our new builds. It seems madness not to apply Coppercoat to a new build when you have a clean hull fresh out of the mould. It only takes a few more hours to apply then traditional options on a new hull and will last for many years.
As a boatbuilder we face many challenges, logistical, technical, environmental etc and including Coppercoat in our builds helps in all these departments. Traditionally antifoul, a dirty job is applied in the few days before delivery just when the rest of the boat is being cleaned to an inch of its life so not ideal. On the other hand we are able to apply Coppercoat months before delivery if necessary avoiding this conflict.
We produce High speed ,custom builds and have found that the hard epoxy finish of Coppercoat doesn’t blunt the performance of our craft in the same way that traditional ablative antifoul does. After burnishing the Coppercoat, our boats have exceptionally smooth hulls which can only help them sail at 20kts plus more frequently.
Looking after the environment is as important to us as it is to our customers and unlike applying traditional antifoul when our build shed has to be evacuated for the day, unless we antifoul at night!!! the unique VOC free water based nature of Coppercoat means that everyone can keep working in a solvent free environment ?
Owning a fast multihull can mean that traditional antifoul erodes more quickly than usual, this is not a problem with abrasion resistant, long life Coppercoat that can be simply scrubbed at low tide also negating the need to lift a vessel with a beam that can exceed 25 ft!
For all of the reasons above as well as significantly less damaging chemicals leaching off into our environment, Coppercoat is the right choice for so many reasons.
