Coppercoat Antifoul
Independent Forum Article
Author: duncan99210
We have the reverse of Vyv – coppercoat on the hull and normal antifoul on the keel. The hull coating is now 12 years old and is still soing at least as good a job as conventional antifoul. SWMBO used wet and dry this winter on the coating to cut back to a new layer of copper, which has worked wonders on it. I reckon we’ll probably get another year or two before cutting back again, after which we’ll probably wait another couple of years before applying 4 new coats of the stuff to cover the next 15 years or so.
