I've just checked: If you go into their website anti-foul is on the top paint menu, but doesn't let you select it so it looks like it's just dropped off the website. Bummer! It's even dropped off the Screwfix website too... It's a conspiracy!<br />I might have to trawl the internet quickly and get stocked up before it disappears.

Dylan Winter antifouled his Centaur with the stuff and it did alright on the trip up to and around Scotland. <br /><br />Havant has a nice liitle area just past the big Tescos. Toolstation, Screwfix, Havant Motor factors and a Jewson yard all packed together. What more does the sailing bloke need? :-) Okay, maybe a chandlers, but that'll just bring the class of the area up a tad too much. After all M&S are building a new store opposite this blokey haven.<br />Mark The Skint Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892877003107509621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520947795617471707.post-63894512705090512572015-03-09T18:38:37.613+00:002015-03-09T18:38:37.613+00:00Oooh, I like those hinges :) If you are going to...Oooh, I like those hinges :) If you are going to Beaulieu drop in and say hello to Rog on the Silky stand.
