The condition of the underwater part of the yacht's hull always remains one of the most pressing problems for any yachtsman.
After all, the marine flora and fauna are merciless in relation to the hull below the waterline. In order to avoid corrosion of the underwater part of the hull, boat owners have to lift the yacht annually, clean its lower part and apply a special paint with antifouling. This antifouling paint contains pesticides that kill the flora and fauna on the underwater part of the yacht (shellfish, mussels, shellfish, algae) and thus extend the life of the hull. This paint is very harmful to all living things and is naturally not environmentally friendly. Even for people who put it on the body, it is very poisonous, so the masters work in respirators.
But although antifilling is poisonous, you cannot do without it. The hull of even the newest newly launched vessel can turn into an old, corrosive hull, covered with aquatic flora, in a few months without antifouling. A very sad picture. And you won't wish that to your enemy.
In addition to the fact that the growth of flora on the underwater part of your hull will lead to its deterioration, it will also lead to a loss of speed. A body covered with molluscs and algae will quickly become heavier, losing precious knots. It has been proven that with a large adhesion of marine flora on the hull, the speed of the yacht can be halved. It will also increase fuel consumption. Doesn't sound very tempting, does it? Yes, yes, pat yourself on your pocket, he can noticeably lose weight. Poor perspective.
If you want to avoid such dire consequences, you will have to properly clean the underwater part of your yacht's hull and apply an anti-foul paint approximately once a year.
Although ... there is a new revolutionary solution that you can use. This is not a paint, but an ultrasonic antifoulant.
This new ultrasonic anti-filling system could solve a problem that is of equal concern to sailors and boaters around the world. Ship Sonic, the developer of a new anti-fooling system, claims that its ultrasonic antifoulling - 100% is environmentally friendly and perfectly protects the underwater part of the boat's hull from the growth of marine flora and fauna.
Ultrasonic Antifouling has been extensively tested in Europe, the Mediterranean, USA and Australia.
The system has already been installed on many yachts around the world and has proven itself very positively for its efficiency.
Ultrasonic antifilling can be installed both on the underwater part of the hull and propellers.
The operation of the system is obvious and simple: ultrasound creates a barrier for flora and fauna, thus protecting the housing and screws from sticking.
Ultrasonic anti-foul system exists in two versions: Shipsonic 10 (for boats up to 10 m long) and Shipsonic 20 (up to 20 m waterline length). In the first version there is 1 transducer, in the second two or more.
The system consists of an amplifier, a transducer (which is installed inside the underwater epoxy enclosure) and a control box (which is installed above the waterline). The system is completed with all necessary cables and wires. The main thing is to install it correctly, according to the instructions.
