Boatbath

PhotographsAll Boatbaths are specially designed for smooth
easy entry and exit for all types of craft.
All Boatbaths are tailor made to fit snugly around the individual craft with a simple lifting of the rear
of the bath to effectively close giving a 100% seal for boat antifouling.
This attention to design & manufacturing reduces the sun light from penetrating the under water hull.
For an Etchell yacht, all that is required is a half cup of
granulated chlorine poured into the bath each time it returns to the mooring and the bath is closed.
If the craft is not being used, no more chlorine will be required for in excess of a month.
Larger craft would follow the same time frame, however one additional cup of chlorine
would be required for a regular dose.
This alternative to traditional paint antifouling for a boat hull has never been safer & easier!

The unique design rudder pouch can be produced for each individual craft to
eliminate Boat & Boatbath damage and prevent sunlight from penetrating the underwater bath.

The end result of using a Boatbath
Some years back, whilst racing Dragon Class yachts, we managed to win the State Championship many
years in a row. Prior to one weekend race, we could not slip the boat due to weather conditions.
We finished that race in last position. We then slipped the boat for inspection and all we found was a few
bits of weed on the trail end of the rudder blade. I could not believe that this could have been the problem,
however, next race and others we were back in the lead again.
In those days, I did not have the benefit of a Boatbath. Paul Melody
