Antifouling paint
Original VC17m in not available here in Finland anymore because of environment regulations. I would like to know what is the best and/or easiest way to continue from this point.
Is LeFant TF a suitable solution? It should be possible to paint it over VC17m( ??? ). http://www.lotrec.se/eng/index.htm
Does anyone from Sweden have experiences; you should have the same regulations as we do?

K.I.S.S.
Might I suggest a simple mail-order solution?

The VC17 is a paint available here in the US, but is made specifically for fresh water.
I have been using an ablative for some time now - Awlgrip Awlstar for sometime now with good results. No build up, and little slime growth on the hull.
I belive the VC17 is a teflon based paint, and will require some prep work if you are going to paint over.

Antifooling
I just saw some impressive publicity on CopperCoat and I am tempted to adopt it in spite of the tedious preparation of the hull surface to remove all previous paint.
Did some ones already tried it?
What is the wett surface of a D800?
