“I bought your excellent paint Coppercoat® in the year 2006, and have not painted since then! So I’m very pleased.
I will soon get another small boat, on which I also intend to use your Coppercoat® .”

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.

Great! Saves so much work and expense.
Mr Young

After six months of the boat being in constant use, I’m very impressed. Previously, the hull would have had very heavy fouling on it, but as you can see from the photo the only growth is on the aluminium keel bands, which I wasn’t able to prepare in the same way as the rest of the hull.
David Parker
Practical Boat Owner
We’ve travelled 40,000 nautical miles on the first application of Coppercoat over a period of 12 years. The protection the product has provided is unparalleled, both for anti-fouling and osmosis protection. Pulling the boat out on the hardstanding we were extremely happy to see no signs of osmosis, especially when you see the other GRP boats coming out requiring substantial repairs.Even though Coppercoat has a slightly higher initial cost over other anti-fouls, its long lifespan and other benefits makes it far cheaper in the long run.

“I treated the boat myself but could not treat the lifting keel at the time. The keel is out for repair so I am going to treat it now. Coppercoat® is simply magnificent!”

As an anti-fouling we have been particularly impressed by Coppercoat performance over the years and we would confidently recommend it.

“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.”
