High-Performance Protection for Competitive Vessels

Unleash optimal speed and impeccable performance with Hempel Hard Racing Antifoul, the expert choice for racing sailboats and powerboats. This high-strength, hard antifouling paint is engineered to provide a smooth, frictionless finish, ensuring your vessel slices through the water with unrivalled efficiency. The paint creates a hard finish which can be burnished for an extra smooth surface, ideal for ensuring you get the edge.

Hempel Hard Racing is compatible with a variety of substrates, including Glass Fibre, Wood, Plywood, and steel, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of high-speed vessels. However, it is crucial to note that it is not suitable for aluminium or light-alloy metals due to the risk of corrosion upon direct contact.
