What antifoul would you suggest and why?
Its going on a nasty messy patchy, horrible surface on a planing hull and should have the following properties?
1- Brilliant white and the bit just above the waterline won't discolour.
2- Very very hard, ie you can scrub it or even buff it up. (like trilux)
3- Self polishing.
4- For use in sea water, medium to high fouling area, (Sparkes Marina).
5- Environmentally friendly.
6- Single coat application.
7- Will last at least a season.
I have tried International Tri-Lux, its OK ish and if no other recomendations then I'll use this again.
I have also tried International Interspeed Ultra, absolute rubbish it all fell off after 18xmonths (IMHO).
Thanks in advance.

I thought that 12-18 months was the lifespan for antifoul. Is that not so ?
