Flag Cruising Antifoul

[brians]

How does this perform in the Solent? It seems too cheap to be good.

For what its worth, I used it for a couple of years in Pwllheli with excellent results

I have put this on this year. I was a little disappointed with the look of it but don't know how it performs yet. I chose red and it is a little pink for my liking and also patchy coverage. I will be using Cruiser Uno or Blakes next year!

It worked well in South Wales too.

It works well in the Med and is sooo much cheaper than Titan stuff the Spanish make; I always ask a friendly chum motoring down to bring me a tub. It is my favourite.

I used it last year - my mooring is near the Folly- and it seemed to work well. I don't antifoul the prop, and that was covered in barnacles to the extent that I couldn't motor at much more than tickover! I've used it again this year, as I still had half the can left (you don't need all that much on a Corribee).
I think the effectiveness of antifoul depends a lot on things that you can't control - salinity, nutrient run-off from farms, temperature etc. which makes comparisons and recommendations fairly pointless. Apart from a few rare seasons, I normally paint the stuff on at great expense in the spring and then watch the weed grow during the summer.

I use Flag as well and see no reason to change to anything else! It get my vote.

We used flag, it's been on for 2 years now, only a wipe down under water, still going strong. W are in the med, Spain.
There wqere 2 to choose from It was the most expensive one but cheaper than a lift out. Only problem is the gori prop has barnicles and need to be scraped big time. Does anyone know if a gori folding prop can be antifouled

Good stuff
