On October 8, 2024 / By George DayCruising 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. These are knowledgeable sailors and veteran boat owners, so their experience matters. We’re proud to say that the Coppercoat’s antifouling system finished third, right below two other much cheaper brands. Many readers left comments with the survey that echoed this one from Mark. M in San Diego: “I’ve had Coppercoat on my boat for six years and it still works perfectly.”
