Re: Stus-List Bottom paint survey
Agreed. I have to feel the hull with one hand and scrub with the other. Baltoplate has a high molybdenum content so it burnishes very well. Used to be a diver in my area that only cleaned bottoms at night with a light because he said he could see better. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint survey
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.

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint survey
I also was skeptical - they listed paints by manufacturer. So, Pettit has paint - about a dozen brands of all types, from ablative to hard as rocks. So, what does it mean that Pettit has an X rating?

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint survey
There was a "survey" (more like an actual scientific experiment) done a few years back that involved actual testing of samples in several different locations. 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.
