T&T: anti fouling

[michael crabtree]

I have just received the latest issue of Practical Sailor and they  
have an up-date on their testing
of 52 antifoulants. In the ablative / copolymer department the "Best  
Choice" goes to Pettit Hydrocoat
Recommends going to the following: Flexdel Aguaguard, Interlux Micron  
66, Pettit West Marine CPP
and Sea Hawk Monterey.
In the hard paint department the "Best Choice" goes to Interlux  
Fiberglass Bottomkote Aqua.
Recommends going to the following: Interlux Epoxycop, Interlux  
Fiberglass Bottomkote, Interlux VC Offshore,
Pettit Vivid.
Tests were run on boats in Florida and Long Island Sound.
The overall favourite that scored excellent for both locations was  
Interlux Fiberglass Bottomkote Aqua.
Hope this helps.
