The Pirate’s Cove tournament pavilion will hold exhibits from supporters
and sponsors promoting their sport-fishing products, services, and
accessories. Axalta’s booth will celebrate its 150th
anniversary in the coatings industry and feature Imron®
MS600™ Single Stage Polyurethane Topcoat, Imron MS100™ Polyurethane
Basecoat, as well as our primers and interior marine products. The
durability and abrasion resistance of Axalta’s marine coatings is
formulated to help ensure that yachts retain their gloss and mirror-like
finish longer and require less maintenance over time.
The Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament attracts captains from the East
Coast. These competitors will search for blue marlin, white marlin,
sailfish, spearfish and swordfish for the opportunity to score big upon
successful catch and release. Boat owners, sponsors, and crew alike will
gather to spectate and compete for almost $500,000 in cash prizes if
they participate at least three of the four days throughout the
week-long event.
“Axalta is delighted to continue to support the non-profit, world-class
event at Pirate’s Cove. It’s very exciting to be part of an event that
brings the community together,” said Richard Cecchini, Axalta North
America East Region Sales Manager. “It allows us to build relationships,
