Immigrants using stealth paint.

Immigrants crossing the channel are now using stealth paint to prevent their vessels being spotted by border agency, this one was recently seen in an east coast marina.

Can they sail though things as well?

I think someone just stole the boat off the top, must have a shallow mooring

I see they're not using Bavarias...

This owner added stealth paint to the keel as well.

Much more effective in my view.

Saves a fortune on the yard storage bills too!

Apparently a yard owner recently said:

“First those dam electric cars that no one can hear and now this!

There was a time when British yachtsmen could use their five senses to avoid hazards, now we have have complaints every week from people that have bumped their head on these stupid boats.

I knew those immigrant boats would be trouble”

Presumably they left the keel "un-stealthed" so that if they turned turtle they could be spotted and rescued?

It could be useful after Brexit. The best I can currently do is go into stealth mode by switching off my Class B AIS.
