Great, no build anti fouling coating!
I have used VC-17 for several years with great results. I usually apply it when the temperature is 70-80 degrees. I noticed on the Interlux website it can be applied at temperatures as low as 50 degrees. Application at 50 degrees was much easier as the paint dried much slower and not as much was lost to evaporation. As this paint wears away and doesn't build up, I highly recommend it.

Smooth bottom
I like the paint. It has a great finish and provides a very slick bottom.

Interlux 17 racing paint.
This is a special racing paint for sailboats we use in freshwater. It works pretty well for that. It has a Teflon and copper base that works well in freshwater only.

I watched a YouTube video by Lady K Sailing that said VC17 will no longer be manufactured because of a ruling by the EPA. Is this true?
Interlux is reformulating it.
