CRUISING SHOT OF THE WEEK

 

No it is not Christmas and yes it is October. This image is from last month’s Newport Harbor Lights in Newport, RI. Harbor Lights encouraged boaters and business owners to light up the harbor for two days and they hope to make this an annual tradition to “celebrate the inspiration of light and its transformative power”.

Can your anti-fouling stand up to over 40,000 miles of high-speed sailing and still keep working?
Coppercoat did!

“We have just lifted the yachts “Nasdaq” and “Dare to Lead” after more than a year in the water and over 40,000 nautical miles of sailing. The hulls are noticeably cleaner than we have experienced when lifting the boats after previous races and we are delighted to see that the Coppercoat has clearly outperformed the anti-fouls used before.”
