International bottom paint; What is it?

[Slow_boat]

Is it a cheap anti fouling or just a normal paint?

I've had no luck googling this question.

Don't really understand what you are meaning. International's paints are more expensive than Hempel, at least up here, and come in different kinds (cruising, racing, hard) as do all the other brands.

Used to paint international bottoms. I suspect that J-Lo and Kylie are customers and that Lakey can prove it

Tried it on a canal boat a while back, that spent a few weeks in an then came out for a time on a trailer and so forth. Certainly didn't seem to affect fouling one way opr the other as the area just made for green slime anyway.

look on yachtpaint.com it's a cheap hard antifouling suitable for sail and power low speed vessels... obviously the equivalent to cruiser uno which is erroding.

Aidy, thank you. I think I'll try it. It's cheap enough.

Bottomcoat...

If you're talking about Bottomcoat, it's an eroding antifouling - not a hard antifouling.

Maybe international websites wrong then ?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, unfortunately it is. They are aware of it. If you're unsure, email them and they'll confirm it's eroding.
