Public Testimonials

"I applied Coppercoat some 13 years ago and have been delighted. Please use me as a reference!"

Mr Stainer - London

"We've travelled 40,000 nautical miles on the first application of Coppercoat over a period of 12 years. The protection the product has provided is unparalleled, both for anti-fouling and osmosis protection. Pulling the boat out on the hardstanding we were extremely happy to see no signs of osmosis, especially when you see the other GRP boats coming out requiring substantial repairs.

Even though Coppercoat has a slightly higher initial cost over other anti-fouls, its long lifespan and other benefits makes it far cheaper in the long run."

Mr Co Zwetsloot - Holland

 

"He set sail from Shamrock Quay for the Caribbean, visiting Grenada as well as crossing the Atlantic to Portugal where his yacht is now at Villamoura.

He has told me that he is delighted with Coppercoat and that there is no growth of seaweed or barnacles on the treated part of his hull, but there is some barnacle growth on the boat topping which he did not cover with Coppercoat"

Mr Hatcher - Boat Builders, Southampton

"The best performing anti-foul I have used even now in it's 7th season. Considering how inexpensive it is, I don't understand why everybody doesn't use Coppercoat."

Mr Kendjian - Cannes, France

"Having treated my boat with coppercoat in 1995 I must say how pleased I am, with the coating still performing well 8 years on."

Mr Beltrani - Rome, Italy

"My conclusion is that after 8 years afloat, Coppercoat seems to have the same anti-fouling properties of the best anti-fouling paint. The advantage is that the job does not need renewing. "

Mr Norbury - Hampshire, UK

"Coppercoat has kept my Thames based boat free of fouling for the last 6 years"

Mr Smy - Herts

"The Copper coat was applied 8 years ago. The coating has stood up well, with no loss of anti-fouling properties. A pressure wash when the boat is lifted is sufficient to remove slime build-up."

Mr Mitchell - Aberdeen

"The hull was beautifully clean - a little better that the usual condition after a season using conventional anti-fouling. All that was needed was a preessure wash and we were ready for launching in the spring."

Rival-Bowman Owners Newsletter

"My client reports that his 80ft aluminium yacht in the Caribbean is perfectly clean after 3 years afloat. You can't say fairer than that!"

Mr Sharatt - Southampton

"Over the last 10 years my yacht has sailed the Med, Caribbean, Florida Keys and UK waters and it's still looking good."

Mr Connell - Liverpool

"After 9 years of heavy use I would now like to apply this fantastic product again."

Mr Rowe - New Zealand

"My boat had Coppercoat applied 5 years ago. Recently the boat was taken out of the water for the first time. The hull was in an unbelievably clean state."

Press Testimonials

 

"Our experience with Coppercoat has been fantastic. In all the 14 years we've never had a barnacle, seaweed, nothing.... The original claim for our Coppercoat was that it would last 10 years and many people were sceptical. Our test proves the doubters wrong."

14 year trial by 'Practical Boat Owner' 2007, written by Sarah Norbury, Editor.

 

Yachting Monthly

"The Coppercoat has performed extremely well as an antifouling, needing only a light washing down each year to remove the ubiquitous river lichen slime."

"As an antifouling we have been particularly impressed by Coppercoat's performance over the years and we would confidently recommend it."

8 year trial by 'Yachting Monthly' 1999, written by Duncan Kent

IBI

"Since applying the Coppercoat system I have been delighted with its performance. There's been much less weed build-up than in previous years, and what did appear has been easy to remove. It's quite a high initial outlay, but a

lot of money will be saved over the years and it seems to work as a very effective anti-fouling with the bonus of offering good hull protection."

Article from 'Sailing Today' 2002,

Editor - John Goode

"Needless to say it was a simple decision for us to continue using Coppercoat, and we were happy to find the product sold in New Zealand. Travelling in remote regions, many people carry extra anti-foul with them to re-do their
boat as they go. Coppercoat gives us the confidence that we won't run into these issues."

Multihull Review"As far as I am concerned, it really does work. John Burges has much the same experience as me. He reports that he is delighted with the product"

 

 

Article from 'Multihull International' 1994, written by Malcolm Turner

Practical Boat Owner

"The main advantage of Coppercoat is that it is lower maintenance than ordinary paint, and owners in the Med have told us that they need less frequent haul-outs to deal with waterline weed and general slime. Owners in the Caribbean have told us that their hulls stayed cleaner for much longer."

Article from 'Practical Boat Owner' 2006, written by Jake Kavanagh

IBI

"Copper epoxies tend to be favoured by environmental groups as they do not leach their metallic content in anything like the quantity that the popular self-eroding antifouls do, thereby reducing the build up of copper on the seabed, and equally importantly, continuing to be effective with little or no maintenance for ten or more years. Now must be the time to consider whether Coppercoat could be the answer to your fouling problems, both economically and environmentally."

Article from 'Captain's Log' 2002, written by Duncan Kent

Yachting Monthly

"Since her launch almost seven years ago 'Zest' has never been out of the water for more than 18 hours. Our experience is that copper epoxy, (Coppercoat) is a great success. We never have any weed or barnacles on the bottom, just a thin layer of slime that is easily blasted away by a pressure hose."
