Yes, it is Tiger Extra True Blue; my first Hardy was named 'True Blue II' although I liked to think it was for a more romantic reason than the name of the antifoul. My previous and current Hardys both are white topsides, so I can't help on your query about a border. Although Tiger Extra is highly recommended for this part of the East Coast, check with neighbouring boats/boatyards what the best stuff is for your area; it might well be Tiger Extra but local experience is worth obtaining. Best price for Tiger Extra I found was at Yachtmail.

Hello Simon Thanks for your reply. I have been looking at the different shades of blue on the Hempel / Blakes website and see "souvenirs blue"(the lightest shade of blue), "true blue" and "dark blue". Which shade did they use at the factory, please? Thanks Rob

Hello All I'm hoping to anifould my Navigator in the next few weeks. I was hoping someone can tell me which is the normal shade of blue used for antifouling the Navigator. My hull colour is dark blue rather than white. Is there normally a border line colour between the antifoul and the sides of the hull? Thanks Rob
