Why regular antifouling
is so important
Without antifouling your hull, your vessel will become a breeding ground for all types of marine life, barnacles, weeds and more invasive creatures.
The build-up of biofouling on marine vessels poses a significant problem. In some instances, the hull structure and propulsion systems can be damaged.
We are all very fortunate to enjoy boating in the most beautiful part of the world. As we appreciate this, we acknowledge the huge importance of ensuring our Hauraki Gulf can be enjoyed by more generations to come. Keeping a handle on our vessels biofouling will contribute to this.
