I would like to use white antifouling, to show off the lovely shape of my hull. But I have read mutterings that it contains fewer or weaker poisonous chemicals than the traditional dark red stuff. (my aim is to establish a toxic death zone around the hull, so nothing can get a hold, but I appreciate it's unkind to seahorses etc).
Is there any evidence? or is it an old wives' tale, and all colours of the same type are equally powerful?
I was thinking International Cruiser Uno, simply because it was effective on my last yacht. However, that was in the very dark blue colour..
I don't know if there is any point asking the paint company, would they admit it?
White would have advantages, such as being able to clearly see any barnacles or growth, or scrapes, dents from flotsam, weeping nail heads etc.
Thanks for any expert advice, Jerry
