That boat has been on ebay for months, years even.
TCM's was bigger, 23M I think.

Was there not an attempt to see if copper foil/sheet ? could replace A/F ?

I seem to remember he used copper stick on tiles, a long time ago, the memory could have faded.

Burgundy and Tico are right, TCM's Leopard was a 23 and I was lucky enough to go on a couple of trips on her, including from Nice to Pisa for it's annual service so high speed across the Golf Du Lion at c20knots. Boat could hold 5,000 litres and at full chat that would last less than a day so not a cheap day out. She was caught out in bad weather and sank off La Napoule so this one's not D2. Beautiful boat and new in 2002 cost just under £2million so this one's a bargain if you can afford the fuel.
And Davy and OG's right too, I helped stick on thousands of copper tiles, each about the size of an A4 sheet. The yard where we did it refused to get involved and in retrospect they were right, half the tiles fell off in the journey from SoF to Southampton, an expensive job but a good idea - I guess the glue wasn't goo enough

the next idea was to stir about 3kg of powdered copper into each tin of antifouling..... It made the roller bl**dy heavy!
Not sure whether that worked?
