I totally concur.. You want the stuff to perform as designed.. You apply it as prescribed. If the tetracycline was as effective as claimed, it would be in the paint from the factory. BTW, My burnished Trinidad Pro is still pristine (I check it regularly when we swim) after being constantly

Anybody dumping Roundup in to their bottom paint and the waters in which we sail should be taken out to the barn and shot. Dumping a witches brew of anti biotics into these same waters is similarly ignorant IMO. Complain about the EPA all you like, but someone needs to take on the unenviable task

I highly recommended Sure Marine. I have found many manufacturers are quick to push for you to purchase a whole new unit. My refer unit stopped working last week and the manufacturer suggested I ditch the old unit (2006)and join the new enlightenment of refrigeration. The folks at Sure Marine

Not defending the use of antibiotics in bottom paint, but nearly all antifouling is toxic to marine life (which is why it’s used as antifouling ...) Copper is nasty stuff to marine life and to people (in sufficient doses), which is why the smart sailor wears a respirator and plenty of

My sail-maintenance guy taught me a great trick with regard to the main (and Genoa track). He gave me a slide for the track which I tie to the main halyard and to a recovery line and then wrap with lint free cloth - tied in place. I then soak the lint free cloth with Mclube and run it up and
