Coppercoat™ vs a conventional Antifoul

Aquarius Marine Coatings Coppercoat cost effective multi season environmentally responsible marine antifoul bottom paint - 5165938559_ba6d9d5066

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...!

Coppercoat vs Conventional Anti Foul


 

My keel and rudder have Coppercoat & the hull xxxxx (a conventional antifoul) so it makes for an interesting comparison after a season on the Medway (without a mid season clean).

I've jet washed the mud and slime off and there was no weed. Some of the barnacles were removed with the jet wash, but the majority wait for the scraper.
