I ache all over but, now, what colour?

[NPMR]

This afternoon I completed the circumnavigation of my bottom.

Now ALL all the antifouling has been scraped off back to the gelcoat - very proud of self. The bottom is now round and oh, so smooth!

But I ache all over.

BUT. Now for the best bit. What colour antifouling? Is there any evidence that any one colour works better than another? We always had red to date but I'm open-minded and could consider a change.

well.... the rumour is that red works best... something to do with natural colour of the nasty bits or something like that....

Empirically, the best colour in our yard last season was...... white........

So darned if I know!

 

[machurley22]

And white is supposed to be the worst through requiring most added pigment!

 

[phatcat1]

Why not go for a greeny-brown sludge, with more green at the boot top!

Will save you scrubbing the bottom so often!

I put black on last time (fresh water) and it's been v good so far.

I was talking with Mr Flag Antifoul himself last year. Dave is right, you cannot paqck the biocises into a white antifoul, and is therefore least strong.
None of it works, so just choose the colour to match your mood /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Full Circle will be looking mainly blue under the waterline this year, with Flag Performance Hard antifouling, as I take the ground a lot.
