Which Anti-fouling

[robmurray]

Either YM or PBO ran a test of antifoulings a few months ago but I have lost my copy. I seem to remember that a budget make came out tops? Does anyone have this info or any recommendations for an eroding antifouling for use on the Hamble. I have used Blakes Tiger Extra with average results previously. Many thanks.

Compass and Flag seemed to come out well, so I am trying Compass this year. We are on a swinging mooring among oyster beds, so it's pretty fertile here !

So far, a bit of slime at waterline after 2 months.

Marclear gets a good report for use on River Blackwater on the Eventide owners site.

I'm using it this year and it seems to work well in the Colne.

I had that test, and on the strength of that and personal recomendations changed april last year from micron to TeaMac eroding. http://www.teamac.co.uk/product-antifouling.asp very pleased indeed with its performance, but after being afloat all winter, really need to re-do it now!

I've used Compass this year for the second year.... only light fouling last year, and so far after 3 months in the water, only light slime so far....

I'm in a high fouling area. For the last 3 years I used Blakes Tiger and the barnacles all feast on it so this year I've tried International One Coat and so far the barnacles have only clung onto the non antifouled bits - the rope cutter! Guess theres still time for them to acquire the taste for International. For Info my bottom is white - ooooerrr !!!

Blackwater based, swinging mooring -last year micron was very poor, this year appears to be performing better......why did I say that! Perhaps conditions are different .
