One of the big winners at the recent Paris Boat Show is a drive-in hull cleaner, as Marine Industry News reports.

G&G Boatwash was awarded the jury prize and €1,000 in the innovation category for its appropriately named Drive-in Boatwash, which promises to scrub fouling from boats in just 15 minutes — negating the need for antifouling paint.

Already the technology is operating at more than 15 marinas in the manufacturer’s home base of Sweden as well as in Norway, Finland, Canada, the US — and Les Sables-d’Olonne in France, where boats of up to 53ft in length can be accomodated.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
