I am checking out antifouling paints for use in the Med.
Most eroding paints seem to cost about €150 for 2.5 litres (i.e. Nautix A3), however a French chandler is offering Stoppani Stopmar @ €125 for a 4 litre tin, which would probably be enough for me.
I understand that this is used for workboats and fishing boats and I wonder if anyone has any views on using it for a yacht?

Yes, go with what the local fishermen use. It is always better and cheaper, IMHO.
I use a local af here in Turkey, Teknomarin. It was very cheap and the hull is still clean after 14 months in the water.

Excellent anti fouling and the price isent bad at all! They make good paint as well.
Ive put it on over other AFs hemples & unknown types and its always stayed on.Try a small patch over your old AF or barrier primer first.

Thanks for the feedback, I was hoping to hear positive comments as it's quite a saving. I'll get that then. As long as it lasts all year I see no reason to pay more.
