Steve,
Practical Sailor has done extensive testing over the years. They test a lot of paints in multiple locations. Their results are comprehensive, but I still like to hear from others in my location with real-world experience. Needless to say, VC Offshore is still the best paint for me. Easy to clean and fast… Baltoplate is another racer’s favorite, but I find the dark color hard to clean. You really can’t tell fouling with the dark grey color of the paint.

It might have been Sail magazine, but I am not sure. Anyway some of the paints were better than others, as one would expect, but the real take away for me was the huge difference in performance that some had in one location verses another. To be sure paint preference is a personal choice, but it is also a site specific choice, and whatever the locals are using would always be a good start. Steve Thomas C&C27 MKIII Port Stanley, ON
