Coppercoat vs antifowl
Last year I moored my boat with no antifowl. Took me a week to clean it. Having done a bit of research I am considering using coppercoat. I got a quote from them for £260 for the 3 litres required. The surface area is around 10 m2. Looking at the Internet there are some excellent reports. However I have also came across a few that indicate problems. Is it worth going down this route or should I stick to traditional antifowl. I was also considering international micron extra 2 as this seems to last a couple of years and can be taken out in the winter.

Re: Coppercoat vs antifowl
Not too sure about the antifouling stuff as I'm on a launch and retrieve set up but I have been through the same cleaning problem on mate boat.dgallagher179 wrote:Last year I moored my boat with no antifowl. Took me a week to clean it. .
The best way to clean it is power hose it as soon as it comes out of the water and the weed will fall off.

Re: Coppercoat vs antifowl
Have not used a copper coat before,have used hemple classic antifoul in the past on a boat that was in malihide estury definatly did the job as where there was no anti foul after even a week on the mooring there were huge chunks of weed on the sides of the boat,lasted the whole season and was still in good condition aswell
