The Captain's Take
As a seasoned captain, I've tried countless bottom paints, and Interlux VC 17m Extra stands apart. The difference in speed and maneuverability is noticeable, especially in regattas. The slick PTFE finish is like nothing else, and the fact that it's so easy to apply and doesn't add unnecessary weight to the hull makes it a winner in my book. If you're serious about performance, VC 17m Extra is the only choice.
