Wow...With a bottom like that, I'll bet it's slower to tow as well.

this was after a little less than a year on 2 coats Petit Horizons ablative, 47% cuprous oxide. couple things, most of this cleaned off with a pressure wash, we never brushed the bottom during the year to get the early growth off, only a few shells mostly weeds, more sailing probably would have helped, (we could see chunks of stuff in our wake as we sailed), and this paint had no biocide. This years paint will.

Wow !

Looks bad...but I guess it cleaned off pretty easily. Must have made quite a difference in sailing performance "before" compared to "after"..

No need for an anchor or mooring--just leave it and it won't go anywhere!

Did you say "sluggish" or "ruggish"?

Looks like wall-to-wall shag carpet!
