misterg: Thanks.

In the end I bought 2 x 2.5 litres of Flag from Marine DNA and reckon that I've bought a good product at a good price.

In terms of making my decision; (including delivery) the Flag paint was at least 25% cheaper at retail than Jotun Seaforce 30. Although some believe that Jotun is better, there are others who disagree, so it's hard to be objective about performance without comparison testing.

Incidentally, I would have been tempted to buy the Jotun on a colour basis (as they make a dark red), but (thanks to contributors on this thread) I understand that antifoul paint colour changes within a week or so of going back in the water.

With absolutely no experience of either product, it seemed sensible to try the cheaper one first ...especially given that Flag gets positive reviews from the likes of PBO.

Thank you once again to all contributors.

Hi All-

Flag last year and this, but on different boats. Last one Wash, this one Aberystwyth interesting but not scientific-

I read all the gloom stories here about slow delivery after buying their a/f last year. However my experience then was fine, it turned up within a day or so. (Can't remember exactly which probably means it was reasonable)

So bought Flag from them again yesterday. We'll see ;)
