Alexseal’s superior marine paint products have been in the press recently, becoming a go-to product at San Diego Marine Exchange, a popular marine supply chain on the west coast of the United States.
Some recent changes in coatings found on the Beneteau and Jeanneau sailboats and power boats!! They are now being painted with the Alexseal Coatings. This is a great product line and it all started for me in 2004. I was in Florida at an IBEX show and I was introduced to Alexseal Yacht Coatings, owned by Mankiewicz Coatings Company founded in 1895 and it is located in Hamburg, Germany. Alexseal is a popular Linear Polyurethane Coating used in the maritime industry for painting small boats to large mega yachts. As I learned more about this product line I became more impressed and I have continued to see and appreciate just how great a product this LP truly is.

Embarking on a journey to create USCG-approved 70’ catamarans that carry 149 passengers offshore is no small feat. Expeditions Six trusts only Mavrik Marine to produce this new One2Three Naval Architects design for the Hawaiian Islands and Mavrik Marine only trusts Alexseal’s Protective Primers to inhibit corrosion and promote adhesion when building their steel and aluminum vessels. Mavrik Marine continues to grow their portfolio of custom workboats as Expeditions Six successfully serves as the Maui-Lana’i passenger ferry. Zachery Battle, CEO of Mavrik, believes his company’s immense growth is due to his employees’ superior skills and his experience in the marine industry. “We use products from Alexseal because they are tried and true.

“Application and repairability, that’s why we chose Alexseal over Awlgrip,” explains Edwin Post about the three and a half year refit project on the 100-meter S/Y Attessa IV. The vessel started her life in 1999 as 91-meter Evergreen (Diana Yacht Design) but underwent an extensive transformation when purchased by billionaire Dennis Washington in 2007. The prep-work and application to cover 80 feet near the transom demanded a coatings system that would flawlessly blend with the existing dark blue hull. Post praised the Alexseal sales and support team adding, “Jeff Holland and Alex Sandas stand behind their products and are very helpful.” Continuous application on projects like these require coatings with a forgiving nature to repair gloss
imperfections. “She’s big… and long… we just could not afford a failure with the spray color or clear coat. Alexseal stands up better.”

Routinely sailing throughout the world is no easy feat. Not only can it prove to be challenging and tiring for the skipper and crew, but also for the boat and her overall appearance. Willy Stiggelbout knows this from experience. Owner of KiwiGrip non-skid deck coatings, Willy has “enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with Alexseal, recommending each other’s products since 2007”.
Willy has also graciously recommended Alexseal products to applicators and refit yards including Paul Ziegler’s Seattle Fiberglass. Paul’s son Henry managed the full repaint of Willy’s 48 foot (15m) Oyster Lightwave sailboat “Pazzo”, and Seattle Fiberglass has been spraying Alexseal exclusively ever since.
