Freddie,

On Slingshot, we use VC Tar as an undercoat and VC17m as an antifouling coating. It's not the best solution for racing since it produces a bottom that is not very slick and not very resistant to the algae that seems to be getting worse as Lake Michigan gets shallower and warmer.

We are exploring other solutions including epoxy, VC Offshore and the like. Whatever we use, regular cleaning is necessary for speed.
