In a thrilling finish at the Corregidor Race, part of the prestigious BPI Regatta series, the Selma Star sailing boat claimed the top spot, thanks in part to MegaPaint’s innovative yacht painting products. The team’s victory was powered by MegaPaint’s advanced VC Offshore antifouling, Primocon Primer, and Antifouling Thinner No. 3—key components that provided the boost Selma Star needed to glide past the competition.
MegaPaint Products Behind the Victory:
VC Offshore Antifouling – Maximizing Speed and Performance (add photo and link to the product)
The Selma Star team relied on VC Offshore Antifouling, a high-performance product formulated to reduce surface friction and drag. Its hard, scrubbable surface provides a smooth, low-friction finish that is crucial for high-speed racing. By minimizing marine growth and resistance, VC Offshore enabled the team to maintain optimal speed, even in the most challenging conditions. The product’s durability and resistance to wear made it the ideal choice for the high-demand environment of competitive yacht racing.
Primocon Primer – Foundation for Success (add photo and link to the product)
Before applying the VC Offshore antifouling, the crew used Primocon Primer, a fast-drying, one-part primer that ensures superior adhesion below the waterline. Designed for timber, steel, aluminum, and cast iron keels, Primocon created a solid foundation for the antifouling paint to bond seamlessly. Its sealing properties also prevented issues with incompatible antifouling, providing a flawless, long-lasting finish that contributed to the Selma Star’s success.
Antifouling Thinner No. 3 – Ensuring Precision (add photo and link to the product)
To complete the process, the Selma Star team used Antifouling Thinner No. 3 to thin the antifouling and primer for an even application. Thinner No. 3
also served as an effective cleaner for equipment, ensuring that everything stayed in pristine condition. With this product, the team ensured smooth and precise application, giving their boat the speed advantage needed to dominate the race.
