Hi Gang,
Didn't know if anyone saw this study, I thought it might be of interest.

New thoughts on bottom paint.

I looked into 1 of these new bottom coats and found these issues:

1. Only works over 10 knots because its not that the algae and barnacle aren't prevented from adhering, just reduces the ability of junk to stick to the boat and therefore over 10 knots life is washed away
2 Highly toxic to apply, need a tent and respirators along with safe location to apply
