International VC Offshore with PTFE, contains all the nutrients for a good growth of marine organisms.
Was talked into buying it some years ago as it was the only antifouling of the colour I wanted in the shop. I was too lazy to go elsewhere for an alternative and paid the price. After it was applied I was dismayed to see grass appearing on it at exactly the same time as similar growth appeared on the bottom of the untreated bottom couple of inches of the ouboard bracket.
And as the manufacturers say, you can't easily change back to conventional antifouling as it peels off. This luckily was on a boat now long gone.
I now use a different variety of Internation antifouling (Uno) and find it good.

Cruiser Uno. It was what the brokerage we bought our boat from painted it with when we bought it (stock boat). Was absolutely rubbish and hull needed a wash after six months.
Have since used Premier paints antifoul to great effect. Hull is still clean after almost 12 months in the drink.

Interesting thread, especially the variances of what's rubbish and what's not. It appears a bit of a lottery.
FWIW I have used Cruiser Uno since it came out on yachts and motor boats, with two years between lifts and it's been brilliant. Yet my brief encounter trying Interspeed resulted in the worst fouling I have enver seen on any boat I have owned.
