I take it as read that the anti-fouling paint is carefully chosen as to not impact on the surrounding marine environment. It has been suggested that levels of anti fouling toxins can be noticeably higher in the confines of a marina; worth attention at Tutukaka?
I know that you find your environment important - how could you not? Keep up the good work, I hope to see you again this coming season. Hi to all. (How do you get antifouling paint out of your hair, Donna?) Bob Fry

One of the best ways to reduce your fuel consumption, and also your emmissions, is to keep the bottom of your boat clean. Easier travels, and less drag.

It also ensures that any greeblies don’t get transferred from one environment to the other, an important biosecurity issue.

We maintain a constant bottom-cleaning schedule on our boats, diving down and cleaning off any growth about once a month, and every year all the boats come out of the water for a waterblast and a repaint.

We use the best anti-fouling available, and Donna washes her hair thoroughly!!
