Dunno about this, but just got Jotun Seaguardian from www.rust.co.uk at £49 for 5 litres...all the specs from Jotun look OK.
Suppose I can only let you know when she comes out of the water next year

used it last season on the river blackwater on part drying mooring ie low water springs and was amazed how little fouling there was.
I'm using again this year.
It's got my vote.

Uno is great. It's what we use.
It would however to be sensible to put on 2 coats 1st time round. The the next year you can use just one coat.

Bought my boat off my dad in March. He used Cruiser Uno last March.
In Pwhllelli there was a growth of weed at the waterline... brought her to Glasson Dock, (freshwater), in April and within a week the weed had fallen off.
Hauled out last week with a minor slime which a jet wash cleared. Very few barnacles which scraped off in a few minutes, and a green mark along the waterline which has sanded off fairly easily.
I'm about to prime the small spots where the keel is a bit rusty, then 2 coats to see if it will last 2 seasons.
International say that you just wash off, and remove any loose bits, then slap it on. Seems much simpler than all the sanding that other people in the yard are doing.
having seen it work, It's got my vote. 3L from mailspeed marine for £54.95.
Cheers

Great: does what it says on the tin. We are in Tidemill at top of Deben. Get a bit a of a lawn on the bottom when boat is not used for a few weeks but is all gone by time we get to the sea 7 or 8 miles away.
Just applied 3rd annual coat. Each year the yard pressure wash (but not very foul) and I just slap the UNO on again. Takes about 3 hours for 36ft boat. Next morning do second coat on leading edges only. No sanding. Don't know how long I can keep this up, but for now seems to work. Not building up enough to flake (yet anyway).
Only downside is that 10% extra offer seems to be 10% extra tin rather than 10% extra paint - but 1 tin does boat so don't care about 10%!

i've been using it for 3 or 4 years now and have just bought this year's coat to apply this weekend. It's as good as anything else I've tried, easy to apply and no major shrubbery under the boat. Can't say fairer than that.
