Dreaming of Spring...

When sailing around Marblehead last summer, I noted a beautiful bronze-colored bottom paint on many of the sailboats. I'm having trouble finding this online - any leads?

I currently have Bottomkote NT on the boat, so it will need to adhere to that.
Thanks.

Sounds like CopperCoat or something similar. It's a different beast than the normal over the counter paint from WM.

This may be what you saw:

Scroll down a little in the website and you will see "before and after" photos.

This company is usually at the Miami Boat Show. They do not currently appear on the exhibitor list but that may be a typo or scrivener error.

I’ll go out on a limb and guess that the product in the hyperlink is what was used as it is cheap, readily available, and easily applied by amateurs.

My Typhoon Senior came from Marblehead, Massachusetts and was told the yard used Pettit Copper Bronze.
