Vc offshore Vs Batoplate?

[Sabre66]

I posted the following question over in S/A and the split seems 50/50 I'm curious as to what you guys think?

"I decided on Baltoplate for our hull based on the info gained from my earlier post. I ordered the paint Monday and my wife picked it up this afternoon. When I got home from work I discovered it was VC offshore not Baltoplate.
I'm sure I could return it but the person I bought it from claims they're the exact same in terms of sailing performance. Any thoughts? I'm hoping to paint this Sunday."
Boat is kept in salt water from may till October.

The effectiveness of either product is dependant in large part on where the boat is used. If you sail here in California (although judging from your post, you probably don't) I would recommend you stay as far away from both VC Offshore and Baltoplate as possibe. Neither exhibit adequate anti fouling properties here in the Bay Area, IMHO.

The boats in Salem Massachusetts. We race her two to three times a week from May til Oct. I dive on the hull once every two weeks or more depending on the conditions/ importance of race. I'm not overly concerned with Anti fouling properties I just want a fast paint.(we're stripped, faired and barrier coated)
