Bottom paints being tested in San Diego

Posted on 25 November 2008

Knight and Carver YachtCenter has partnered with the Port of San Diego to test environmentally friendly antifouling paints to see which are most effective in real-life conditions.

The San Diego Unified Port District’s Alternative Hull Paint Project is examining various coatings and their effectiveness over a two-year period. Effectiveness will be evaluated based on application efficiency, cleaning and maintenance needs, antifouling efficiency, cost and longevity.
