International Cruiser One antifouling
International Cruiser One is a self-polishing, copper-containing antifouling designed for use in fresh and brackish water. It is suitable for sailing and motorboats travelling at up to 25 knots, and for polyester (gelcoat), wood and steel. The self-polishing coating helps prevent the growth of algae, barnacles and other fouling organisms.
In many cases, Cruiser One can be applied over an existing antifouling system. Consult the technical documentation. If the existing system contains many old or unidentified layers, we recommend removing them with a vacuum scraper or Tercoo rotary stripper first.
Important: this antifouling is not suitable for saltwater. If you sail exclusively in saltwater, use International Micron LZ (self-polishing) or Interspeed Extra (hard antifouling) instead.

A primer or suitable surface preparation helps the next product bond properly to the substrate. Different surfaces require different treatments:
- Porous substrates such as some concrete floors may need impregnation or priming to reduce absorption and bind loose dust.
- Non-porous or smooth substrates such as certain tiles may need sanding or a specialist adhesion primer.
- Metal and existing paintwork may require their own cleaning, sanding and priming system.
Remove dirt, grease and loose material. Also check the substrate's moisture level and whether the primer is suitable for both the substrate and finishing coat.
