Hempel classic - false economy?

[RJJ]

Hello

Anyone used this? Currently at around £60 for 5l....

Also, for 45 foot modern fin-keeler...7.5l or 10l required?

Thanks!

Used this season for the first time. Goes on nicely and has a shiny finish. Can’t comment on efficacy I’m afraid though. 33 foot fin keel, 5L for two generous coats ??

I used it last May. Have been afloat since, current status is that there is quite a lot of growth. I would say its not the best by a long way.

An example of you get what you pay for.

It suited me at the time. For the price it let my expectation.

Used it last year on both my keels whilst moored in Portsmouth harbour, a dreadful area for antifouling. Wasn't great and barnacles grew on it. I have still some left in the shed but won't use it again. Might work in low fouling areas but I need something stronger down south.

If your boat's used regularly throughout the season and you haul out every year I'd have thought worth a try. Though saying that using your boat regularly throughout the season is going to be easier said than done this year...
