A revolutionary new development which will change the maritime industry forever

I think a enclosed spray system would be better...

Or maybe a vacuum bag infused this.


Or a hundred elves with rollers.

sorry, PDog, the last suggestion is already in advanced operation

I've already said how we know how to do it.

Except that you can't fit a sleeve over an anode or flush fitting seacock can you?

I think you're taking this a bit too seriously

This is serious, I'm waiting for trials, so he can do my mirror dinghy....

All of those costs would be there with the traditional system.

only if you are afloat 365 days.
I crane out for the winter, so this adds another lift, and there's no room for a lorry on lift day.
Not for me, (even if it works, which I don't believe)

Right oh

A truly incredible idea. Will it work with swirls of different colours to give a marbled effect?

 

[boguing]

Yes you are correct the density of the paint is higher than that of seawater so the boat would float higher. However we will calculate the weight that needs to be added to the boat so that it would float at the correct draft and then add the correct weights around the boats longitudinal centre of floatation so that it floats on an even keel. This may sound like a lot of work but once we have the required stability data for each class of boat it will be very simple.

If the density of the paint is higher than sea water it will take its' place under the sea water.

If you get some striped paint you could do the boot top at the same time

Would they be 'go faster stripes'?

Sorry, this isn't really a new idea,

why on earth do you call a thread "A revolutionary new development which will change the maritime industry forever" without sounding a bit like .... well you know. There was one on here a little while ago saying something like "I'm an entrepreneur, and nuts about sailing, give me all your ideas"

Well I have my ideas so don't need to ask for them on the forum.

How wide is your tank? Can you do me in one go or will you have to double-dip?

 

[stevebrassett]

Am busy sorting the finer details of the system. Might be free in the summer if that is convenient?

If it's going to be free in the summer, then I'm in. That's what I call an introductory offer.

Its currently only wide enough to dip the average yacht. So cats will be double dipped, a bit like the economy.

I am sorry I think you may have misunderstood me, I was saying I will be free in the summer to give a talk to another posters engineering society. Just to confirm we will not antifoul boats for free at any time of the year.

I think we've been misled.

I'm sorry you feel mislead. But it really was quite clear what was meant when I said we would be free in the summer to give talks on our cutting edge system and not that we would be offering the service for free.
