The coppercoat is now 9 years old and is in really good shape. It was expensive at the time but money very well spent. It means we don't have to go through the horrible job of painting on antifoul - been there, done that!! However, we noticed a few places that need touching up, especially on the keel, so when we return from the UK next year we will bring a few pots of coppercoat back with us.
