COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
I am contemplating using this product on 31 ft sloop in Hamble river (heavy fouling area). Any personal experience on how long it lasts, what maintenance it requires, and any problems would be most welcome

It does not stop fouling. I don't use antifpouling but my boat is only in for 3 months each year.

Re: COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
Well thats a truely helpful reply. He asked about Copperboat and you don't even use it so your hardly qualified to comment unless you can back up your statement with examples. We too are looking at copperboat for Portsmouth harbour and will probably go for it next May.

Re: COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
We have used it on a 29 ft Trintella in Portsmouth harbour for the last two years in the water,
just need a quick blast or rub off of slime once or twice a year
seems no better or worse than AF but dont need repaint every year

Re: COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
In the process of getting our Contessa coppercoated, from my research it seems a good product. The only issue is the product is sensative to temperature and humidity when applied so take care if you plan to do this yourself. I played safe and got the proffesionals in, JWS Marine at Southsea, they are very helpfull if you need advice.

Re: COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
My 33ft Nauticat Motorsailer is in it's 10th year with 'COPPERCOAT' and only comes out of rhe water every two or three years for long enough to replace anodes and check under water fittings, prop, shaft & P-bracket.
The marina (as is their normal practice) jet washes the hull, removing the little bit of loose slime that accumulates over the 2/3 years between lift-outs and that is that. Last time (3 years ago) I did not even lightly sand the surface to "expose new copper" as suggested by the manufacturer and it hasn't prevented this extraordinairily good product from performing.
There are numerous reports concerning the effectiveness of Coppercoat and from on the web and other sources - see Boatowner review where they have personal experience with 'their' boat which is in it's 14th year with the original coating and the boat is 'always' in the water. Don't forget also that this is an epoxy based product and many people use epoxy coatings specifically for assisting with the prevention of any potential osmosis as it is probably the most impervious coating for this kind of application in it's own right!
Just to make it clear I have no ties in any way with the company who makes the product - i am simply an avid supporter of this particular product which saves me time and money and WORKS. please note the name (not Copperboat or Copperbot or any similar sounding name)

Re: COPPERCOAT ANTIFOULING
i have used a product simular to coppercoat called Liquid Copper, which has been on my boat for 8 years with no ill effects what-so-ever, best thing about this product is that it is a water based epoxy,and really easy to put on, lots of boats in my yard are now useing LiquidCopper, web www. c-guard.co.uk
good luck...........
