Lichens do not stand a chance

„The holiday period ended and my yacht was left for 2 months in one of the north ports of Giżycko. Sailors know that it is related to the permanent exposure to strong Autumn winds which may contain many pollutions and enhanced probability of the settlement of algae and lichens on the bottom of the yacht. That’s what indeed happened to my Twister. When in November I pulled it out from the port basin, sadly I noticed what I had expected – the bottom was almost completely black due to the lichens.

Just before the arrival, on the Internet I was watching products of various companies and I came across C1 Sea-Line – the anti-fouling product. As a rule, I do not trust new products without getting an opinion about them, but a simple description of use and a comfortable sprayer tempted me to buy this product. While washing the yacht there was a drizzle which made it more difficult to maintain the applied anti-fouling product on the hulk so I continuously had to cover the elements, which I was washing, with a tilt.

At the same time I was hurrying because it seemed that there was going to be a downpour in the evening. In spite of inconvenience and the lack of appropriate equipment (I was spreading the anti-fouling product with a simple brush and the rain was rinsing it), the effect was surprising. Just like it says in the manual, after the second wash, the yacht looked the way it looked like during the regattas – white and fragrant. Anti-fouling C1 is an excellent product for a very affordable price. I have experienced myself that it is worth buying Sea-Line products, therefore during the next season I am going to secure the whole bottom with Sea-Line® S4 Protect Wax.”

We kindly thank Jacek from Warsaw for the materials.

Notre FAQ
Réponses aux questions fréquemment posées

Can I add some thinner to antifouling paint?

There is a possibility of thinning antifouling, but we do not recommend this procedure due to the risk of reducing the effectiveness of the paint. If it is necessary to thin the antifouling paint, it is recommended to dilute it to a maximum of 0-5% (by volume).

Can I mix polyurethane paints to get a different color?

Yes, you can mix Sea-Line polyurethane paints. The only difference are the pigments of polyurethane paints that determine the color of the paint. But remember to keep the right proportions of base, hardener and thinner.
