This is how the boat is tethered to the machine. The brushes work their way up and down the hull starting at the bow...

whilst the boat is incrementally moved forwards at the end of each pass. This is achieved by a cunning arrangement of lines and pulleys connected to a motorised winch. The boat looked as though freshly antifouled at the end of the process, which took less than the time needed to consume Jimis devilish curry.
