Cruising Compass Readers Have Spoken: Coppercoat Really Works
This spring, Cruising Compass surveyed its readers to ask what antifouling coating they go back to year after year because it works so well.

We’re proud to say that the Coppercoat’s antifouling system finished third, right below two other much cheaper brands.
