Anti fouling

I have used UNO for years but now that it’s retired I was wondering what people are using now.

Billy, I've just used Hempel Tiger Xtra for my delicate wee bits. No idea as yet how the A-F properties will shape up but very easy to work with. It's rated for high fouling areas but my jury is out for 8 weeks. ££ are about right.

Cruiser UNO is a soft antifoul is it not? You ideally want a hard antifoul for high speed boats (sometimes called racing antifoul amongst the rag and stick brigade).
