Well, that settles it for VC Offshore. Pettit's Vivid was on my list - it is
cheaper, too. I just wonder if it works well in our special conditions:

We have our F-33 trimaran moored in a tidal river in the Pacific Northwest
during the summer time. The little river is carrying large amounts of
fertilizer from the fields upstream. During the hot months you can almost
watch the slime and barnacles growing. Last year I scrubbed the hulls (three
of them) almost on a weekly basis. This summer I'd like to be better
prepared. 

We have already tried Copperpoxy and Micron Extra. Anybody with a better
suggestion for brackish waters?

Very useful, I'll try that the next time. Thanks for your help.
