Alexseal’s premium coatings products are gaining popularity in the Southeast Asia yachting market thanks in part to wonderful distributors like Oceanic Link in Singapore. M/V MOKEN is a 40′ steel hull sailing yacht which was repainted in the full Alexseal system including Finish Primer 442 and Forest Green 501 Topcoat, supplied by Oceanic Link.
This project began in late 2016 after the owner had seen a yacht sprayed in a similar color in a West Malaysia boat yard. The paint previously coating M/V MOKEN from a competing brand had faded after only a few years which resulted in the owner seeking a better quality system. The owner of M/V MOKEN is very pleased with the results of his new Alexseal paint and the team who applied it in the Subic Bay of the Philippines.

The refit and extension of Attessa IV may seem an immense undertaking, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for Washington Yachting Group. One of many luxury yachts managed by the company, all have been transformed and added to: over 3 meters on the first Attessa, with Attessa II and III receiving additions of over 5 meters.
Attessa IV started her life in 1999 as the 91-meter Evergreen (Diana Yacht Design) but underwent an extensive transformation in 2007. After being purchased by Dennis Washington, the bow and stern were rebuilt to accommodate 100 meters of lavish appointments. This expansion of nearly 10 meters in length allowed the owners to add in a spa, cinema, and additional private helipad so that guests can have their own landing area on the bow. It was critical to establish an exquisite theme of luxury aboard Attessa IV, both inside and out.

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.

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.
