When a fraction of a second counts, VMG wins the race!
Experienced sailors know that when it comes to winning races, a split second can spell the difference between winning or not. That's why ensuring that your boat's hull is as smooth as possible is so important. VMG can help you do this. What is VMG? VMG is a PTFE-enhanced, friction reducing, low drag, high performance coating that creates a super-smooth racing finish with no sanding required.
VMG can be applied over properly prepared existing freshwater thin-film paints and can also be applied over properly prepared and primed fiberglass, aluminum and steel surfaces. Depending on temperature, VMG can be overcoated in as little as 10 minutes, making it easy to get the project done in less than a day. For use in freshwater only. Not for sale in States where prohibited by law.
