I've just read about a mixed epoxy copper anti-fouling paint that is supposed to last 10 years in saltwater without requiring touching up:.

Has anyone had any experience with this type of anti-fouling treatment? It seems difficult to apply and even harder to remove, but has a lot of promise if it really does work as claimed.
I sail in ocean waters in Massachusetts.
Hello everybody, I had a question.
I've been curious for awhile about the RCN's use of blue anti-fouling paint. I know multiple other modern navies use blue anti-fouling paint as well however, is there any solid info about when the RCN first stated doing so?
I've been looking at online sources and photos however, there hasn't seemed to be a definitive answer. Anti-fouling on RCN ships looks to come in many different colors such as classic red, black and blue.
If anybody could shine some light on my question, I'd really appreciate it!
Strange! My palm has been creating garbage artifacts on Surface while using Notes, so I got an anti-fouling. But once I am wearing it, the pen doesn't detect at all. Any ideas why?
For example, I see a product by Aquaguard. Are products like this total garbage? Are some any good at all? Does anyone have first hand experience using this stuff?
Hi
I have an Albin Vega, and currently have the boat in the yard. I’m due to launch this in the next few weeks, but need to do something about the hull. For the very most part, the antifouling job, which was last done in 2019 appears solid, with only a small number of spots where paint is flaking.
To that end, would you still advise for the whole hull to be scraped back down to the gel coat, primed, and painted – or, would you only scrape back the flaking areas, and redo these? If the later, would I be best giving the whole hull a bit of a sanding down, and re-priming and re-painting the whole hull?
I’m a bit overwhelmed with the various advice I see online, so I would be keen to hear some more thoughts on this.
Hi there, I got an old 16ft day/ fishing boat. I want to paint the whole hull but anti foul paint is expensive, especially for me during this pandemic.
Has anyone in this thread painted a similar sized boat? And did you manage to do so with a 2.5l tin? Or 5l? Or less or more
I’m in the UK and new to all this. So any recommendations of cheap sites / guides for anti foul paint would be appreciated
I read a review that brought up a great point, and she had an issue with it because for slow strokes, the detection was glitchy. Fast strokes, was fine for her to glide over her tablet with the glove.
I'm going to definitely do slow strokes more, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the right glove to get from their personal experience not having issues doing slow strokes
...but instead as complex individuals with personal reasons they rebelled or embraced chaos. Just read an except from Dawn of Fire - The Gate of Bones, with a viewpoint from Warpsmith Lokk conversing with Dark Apostle Kar, one a jaded IW embracing his mutations and the endless war with a sort of pragmatic idea, the other a devote WB. Their conversation as not just veterans but close friends was a great window into the mind of a CSM. Sooo to not ramble, please share your favorite stories, novels, characters and excepts etc etc
Hi, I am looking into antifouling, is there anyone with information about environmental friendly fouling willing to compare notes?
I realise it would need to be hooked up to power the whole time but just curious as to whether anyone uses one of these kits.
Read a lot about people complaining that Jokic doesn't get calls so I went to look into it. According to NBA.com stats, Jokic has 196 shot attempts in the paint and 324 paint touches. . This is within 10 FGA of Zion Williamson at 206. Yet Jokic has only attempted 20 FT from the paint fouls. This constitutes as getting fouled while in the paint and not driving to the rim.
Some players with the same or more FT attempts from paint fouls: Bruce Brown (26), Serge Ibaka (24), Gordon Hayward (20), Danilo Gallinari (20), Taj Gibson (22), and Josh Okogie (20.)
The only players who get fouled less frequently are Thaddeus Young (5 fouls on 275 paint touches) and Nikola Vucevic (8 fouls on 271 paint touches.)
>"Blown call by the officials. Not enough contact for them to call the play. I don’t know who it was – Nerlens – but clearly he had possession. After all the fouling and everything that was going on, for them to call that and decide the game is fucking ridiculous. They have to do a better job. It’s too many games like this."

Incoming fine for Randle after a frustrating loss.
