Antifouling

[andrew_ireland]

Can anyone recommend a good white antifouling paint? I would prefer to use a spray if it was as effective as the brush on tins. What are peoples experiences like with these? Going on a 4.5m rib. Thanks.

I went into this last year for a boat that lives permanently on the water and ended up with copper coat. Definitely not white but it’s the only thing I could find that works.
On a 4.5m rib, I’d be tempted to pull it out of the water every couple of weeks and wash it if it’s doable.

I’d definitely agree pulling it out would be the best but unfortunately its not possible for me. Thanks for your reply

You need a hard (sometimes called racing) antifoul for a RIB. International Interspeed (which is now called Ultra 2) is good.

Trilux 33 stays white.
A lot of others go duck egg blue above the waterline.

Plus 1 for Trilux. Ain’t cheap but you get what you pay for
