Biocide-free silicone antifouling paint tops European study
Chalmers-led research found biocide-free silicone antifouling paint performed best against hull fouling in Swedish, Danish and French coastal waters.


Dry stack boat storage offers a cost-effective solution to keeping a boat at a marina, ready to launch whenever wanted. Boats are stored ashore in purpose-built storage racks and launched when needed. With Premier Marinas, launching is as simple as clicking the button within the Premier Marinas App, with as little as an hour’s notice. The boat is lifted from the rack, launched into the water and moved onto a waiting pontoon, making it an ideal option for those looking for a convenient and hassle-free option for boat storage.


As well as being lower cost than wet berthing, dry stack storage is a great way to keep boat maintenance in top condition. Over time salt water can be very corrosive, causing damage to almost every area of a vessel. Dry stacking can slow down the potential corrosion that occurs, helping protect resale value. Dry stacking a boat minimises the exposure to saltwater as the boat’s hull is washed with fresh water after every use. Storage away from the corrosive effects of salt water also reduces the need to apply costly antifoul.

A clean and smooth hull surface significantly reduces water resistance, allowing the boat to cut through the water with less effort. This reduces drag, increases speed and lowers fuel consumption. As the hull is cleaned after each use, it won’t carry fouling, this smoother hull surface increases the boat’s overall performance and increases enjoyment.
