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.
Italian company ZAR Formenti unveiled their new 13m Imagine 130 craft at this year’s Genoa Boat Show.
With the Imagine 130, ZAR have entered a new segment in the market, that of registered boats, while maintaining the company’s tradition of its patented, high-performance hulls, combined with characterful layout and novel design. This newboat boasts a sporty yet elegant line and features two large cabins, a bathroom with a separate shower, comfortable seating areas and large sun decks.
The boat has been built using the infusion technique, which enables a significant reduction in weight compared to conventional layering, and the T-top is also made in one piece and exclusively from carbon fibre. The ergonomic dashboard offers ample space for electronic equipment and the cockpit provides three seats, suitable for high-speed navigation.
Behind the seats, there is a large frame designed for appliances, complete with a 130L-capacity refrigerator, an induction hob and sink, while under the stern sofas there is a garage for a 180cm tender.
