Hempel Hard Racing is a high-performance hard antifouling for powerboats, sailboats, and racing yachts where high speed, low water resistance, and effective protection against fouling are essential. Its hard and durable surface makes the antifouling particularly suitable for boats with high demands for performance, durability, and a smooth finish.
Unlike a self-polishing antifouling, Hempel Hard Racing forms a hard surface that can be sanded to an extra-smooth finish. This makes it particularly attractive for fast powerboats and racing yachts, where a smooth hull can help reduce water resistance and maintain the boat's speed and sailing characteristics.
The antifouling provides effective protection against algae, slime, barnacles, and other fouling throughout the sailing season and is developed for pleasure craft with speeds of up to 35 knots.
Hempel Hard Racing can be used on boats made of fiberglass, wood, and steel once the substrate has been correctly prepared and primed. The paint is easily applied with a brush or roller and can be sanded after curing when an extra-smooth surface is desired.
An obvious choice for boat owners who want a hard and durable antifouling with a focus on speed, low friction, and a smooth hull.
