try [YOU TUBE] then code then [/YOU TUBE] and insert the code after the =, for this: IPM8OR6W6WE remove the spaces between you and tube so YOUTUBE
looks like a possible for the go faster brigade as well as antifoul.

Ultra ever dry
After having looked at the specs it would be interesting to see how it performed on a sail.

But that is exactly what I have done and it does not work, odd isn't it.
This stuff looks amazing it looks like it could have a lot of practical applications.I am not sure it is hard wearing enough for anti-foul but to me this is the technology of the future for anti-foul. Modern science is brilliant.

Sadly, it currently cannot be used in its present form for anti-fouling. The following Q & A is taken from the FAQ's (number 24):
Can you use Ultra-Ever Dry where it is continuously submerged in water or liquid, like the inside of a pipe with
constantly fl owing liquid?
No, this is not a good application. The reason is the nano-coating relies on a barrier of oxygen/air to form the barrier
on the surface of the material it is coating. Unless the coating can become exposed to air every now and then, it
cannot “recharge”. So coating the inside of continuously fl owing pipes is not a prime application. If it is intermittent
usage, it may work well. Steel coated with Ultra-Ever Dry has been immersed in salt water for 30 days without any
eff ect.
Oh well, back to the "slap it on 'enry" type AF for me then.

Alright on a drying mooring, though?

probably perfect for dingies and trailer sailers.
weed and barnacles might already know of a way to penetrate the nano technology, oxygenated or not.
like bertt says, probably could significantly improve sail performance. could probably deal with seagull deposits.
