A two-year anti-fouling test on a Corsair F-24 trimaran in the Chesapeake Bay evaluated six bottom paints: Pettit Trinidad Pro, Pettit Odyssey Triton, Total Boat Krypton, Interlux Micron CSC, ePaint ZO, and ePaint EcoMinder.0:42 The test boat was sailed two to three times monthly at speeds of six to 15 knots.1:08 Pettit Trinidad Pro, a hard paint, resisted barnacles and scrubbing well through 24 months.4:50 Pettit Odyssey Triton, an ablative paint applied to the centerboard, remained clean but faced higher wear at the leading edge.2:10 Total Boat Krypton, an ablative, performed best at the waterline and remained the top overall performer for the duration of the test.2:38 Interlux Micron CSC lost effectiveness against barnacles after 20 months, while both ePaint products, ZO and EcoMinder, failed within the first year and exhibited poor adhesion.5:48 Hard paints require more frequent scrubbing but resist wear, while ablative paints reduce long-term paint buildup.0:19 Total Boat Krypton proved the most effective choice for the test vessel.7:44
