This was really informative and different, thank you. Maybe one time we can get one comparing products designed solely for salt water.

Hempel silic one it is.

What a brilliant video, I'm glad you went to all this effort, very interesting 👍❤️👍

Fantastic, thank you very much! Helped me a lot!

Good comprehensive comparisons. Looks like the silicone products are the clear winners. Thanks.

It is rather shocking how long it's taking the marine industry to switch away from absolute garbage copper paints to better alternatives, like the mentioned silicon and maybe with a hydrophobic coating over that.

What was such an interesting test, very illuminating 👍

Nothing new here, while the silicone coatings are seriously easy to clean, if left, like most boats are, the micro and macro fouling will adhere to them and barnacles will eventually eat through the coating. If you are prepared to clean the hull on a regular basis, the silicone coatings are definitely the way to go, but unfortunately the reality is that most boat owners cannot keep up a cleaning program to suit.

looking at the strips in between where there was no anti fouling. these areas are extremely inconsistent. There are some with very little growth and then there is one with extreme growth. you would expect that they should all be the same. That makes this whole test questionable for me.

I agree and I can't explain the difference between the non-coated areas so I'm a bit confused.

Would have helped if you got the order correct when going through with the cloth.

Hi Hugo. Good to see you again, an interesting and useful information video. Thanks to Raymarine for the boat. Your USA videos from Elliot improve the channel. Great video thanks 😊

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

I would like to see a hydrophobic coating used and see how it compares.

Looks like Hempel Silic Ome is the clear winner!

looks like he got some of them mixed up at the end i though he said tigercoat was one of the black strips at the start?

All very good if your boat is regularly on the move, but most boats sit still for most of their time. A test for the static boat, perhaps?

That’s why we are also monitoring a static board with the same products and will report back every six months or so. No great difference between boat and board at the moment.

This isn’t in the US is it? We don’t have these brands

Different Sea’s different rules

Seems silicon one is the best

so which one would you recommend?

Full results are here: www.mby.com/gear/antifouling-test-2022-results-119924 The only paint to get the full 5/5 rating from us was Hempel Silic-One

So how is the rest of the boat totally clean?? Looks like the original boat antifoul paint is the best! What was that?😅

Great information thank you, I've been looking into hull maxx, has anyone had any experience with this product, it has a 10 year guarantee

Too many variables to actually judge, boat static versus well used, open sea, harbour or estuary use as well as mooring in fast or slow moving water... etc etc...

Bottom paints in Canada are garbage, only last 2yrs max. Old paints used to last 4 or 5yrs.

Bottom paints are bad for the ecosystem. I guess the newer ones are less effective because nowadays they are more regulated and cant contain too much poison.

Vinyl wrap is better than any paint.
