Whilst labouring with a tin of conventional anti fouling on a windy day I began to wonder if there is any truth behind the hype surrounding the various copper epoxy products on the market. There must surely be some OCCers out there that have taken the plunge and invested in this supposedly long life and labour saving product? If you have tried it I 'd be really interested to hear how well it worked for you?

Five years on and we are very pleased especially as for 3 of those years the boat was continually in the water with no lift and scrub facilities. We hauled out last week and have a clean hull. The coppercoat is looking a bit patchy especially near the waterline where it has been gouged by ice. Tomorrow we are going to give it a light sanding and then a few more top-up coats.
