A Word On Paint

For almost as long as we have had the boat we have used an antifoul paint by Premier Paints called Premier One Can. It has proven to be a very cost effective way to keep the bottom of the boat clean and looking fresh.

Unfortunately this time we have decided not to use the Premier Paints product due to a massive increase in price that no longer makes the product an attractive prospect.

When we got the boat she was painted with Cruiser Uno which we never really liked. It got too much weed growth for our liking over a season in the water. So it was time to look elsewhere.

Several people have recommended Hemel Tiger Xtra. So on the back of these recommendations that is what we have gone for this time around. It has come in a good £30 a tin cheaper than the Premier Paints equivalent product which is about a third cheaper. 

Only time will tell if it will perform as well. Fingers crossed it does.
