[MHml] Bottom paint for fresh and salt

[Nils Rönnbäck]

Hi
I use Trilux from yachtpaint.com on my Formula28, brakish water in Sweden. Available in white (great for hull flying)  and is hard so you can smooth it. Much better than Micron regarding growth and it does not kracks as Micron in flakes.

Regards

Nils

Well, that settles it for VC Offshor    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.         _____________________________________________________________________
