Can your anti-fouling stand up to over 40,000 miles of high-speed sailing and still keep working?
Coppercoat did!
 
 

 

“We have just lifted the yachts Nasdaq and Dare to Lead after more than a year in the water and over 40,000 nautical miles of sailing. The hulls are noticeably cleaner than we have experienced when lifting the boats after previous races and we are delighted to see that the Coppercoat has clearly outperformed the anti-fouls used before.”
