Environment-Friendly Yacht Antifouling Options

Antifouling the bottom of your yacht is crucial for maintenance concerns and increasing its fuel economy. It helps to lessen the friction brought on by the accumulation of marine creatures, such as barnacles, on your boat's rudders, propellers, and hull. You must use the top yacht antifouling services provider in Dubai for the work since antifouling paints may significantly affect marine life.

Problems caused by traditional antifouling paint

Toxic biocides can be found in marine antifouling paint particles. These paints pollute the ocean when your boat is in the water since they are used to destroy tiny creatures and algae that stick to the hull. Yet, these substances also harm aquatic life in general. In addition, antifouling coatings must be applied annually.

According to research done in 2021, boat maintenance is the leading cause of antifouling pollution. In addition, regions near ports and boatyards tend to be more polluted. Hence, you must cooperate with a boat antifouling service provider who practices environmental responsibility when removing and reapplying antifouling paint. This aids in avoiding ocean pollution when doing maintenance or undergoing boat refurbishment.

After lifting her out yesterday to try and identify why we had no power from the propeller, we guessed it could be furred up and I videoed it in the water to confirm this. Today, started at 0700hrs, and with a simple scraper, sheets of sandpaper and tonnes of elbow grease, the change from its appearance over the next 11hrs was outstanding. After the propeller, I scraped and anti-fouled her with only one coat as I’ll take her out in November and scrape everything right back. And the bonus is I can now identify the propeller, to research its spec’! #cedricthesaxon #westerly #cirrus #propeller #antifoul #portisheadquaymarina #pcc (at Portishead Quays Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfnzGuFrx_/?igshid=1tz0800px8rct
