If the boat is not sailed a lot during the summer season, there is still an unobstructed vegetation at the end of the season

No effect in inland waters
Reluctantly, we switched from VC17m, with which we were very satisfied, to the antifouling "VC Offshore EU". Application was easy and good.

Our sailboat is moored in warm inland waters with heavy fouling.

Even during the season, we noticed a significant decrease in sailing performance.

When we hauled out of the water, it became clear: heavy fouling with algae, mussels, and crabs on the hull was slowing the boat down. I will look for a different product.

Decreased effectiveness of this product
I have used this product with satisfaction for several years but the last two have been very disappointing with not only algae but also a lot of concretions and shells. This last summer is really disappointing (careening at the end of May, 3000 nm in the summer and a very dirty hull in September). Has there been a change in the product?

Arrived badly dented box
Either pack better or choose a better suitable box. Or the can was already on its way. I don't want to assume that, but it is very possible. Great looks different. You can save yourself the fantasy price. We've all been boating long enough.

Not what it used to be
I completely rebuilt the underwater ship in 2012 with what was then the VC Offshore. That lasted until 2019 (fresh water, 6 seasons of approx. 6 months, winter in the hall). In 2019 I repeated the procedure (completely sanded down, several layers of VC TAR, then 5 layers of VC Offshore, about 100 hours of work). Result after the 2nd season, the underwater hull looked like it did after the 2018 season. Hands off! Who knows what better ???

Terrible shipping with DHL
The shipment consignment 8022020 was delivered on 18022020. I used to order it in America first.
