HORIZON YACHTS SELECTS PROPSPEED

Propspeed, leading innovator of underwater foul-release coatings, has received an endorsement from Horizon Yachts.

The luxury yacht manufacturer applies Propspeed as a standard for all new models and recommends the use of Propspeed for existing owners as protection against fouling and corrosion of running gear and underwater metals.

Since its inception in 1987, Horizon has emerged as the leading Asian yacht brand in the luxury yacht market and is known throughout the industry for its sophisticated craftsmanship, superior build techniques, and innovative technology. Horizon Group contributes to one-third of Taiwan’s total yacht exports and has elevated the country as one of the world’s top five luxury megayacht-building nations. Horizon has been honored as Best Asian Motor Yacht Builder 13 years in a row, is recognized as one of the Top 10 Global Superyacht Companies by The Superyacht Report and is the first and only member of SYBAss (Superyacht Builders Association) from the Far East.

Propspeed’s ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to increase boat efficiency, protect against corrosion, reduce drag, save fuel and maintenance costs. It features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat – ensuring that the Propspeed coating actually sticks to running gear, and any other underwater metals, and performs season after season.

Propspeed products include Propspeed for running gear and any underwater metals, Foulfree for transducers and Lightspeed for underwater lighting. www.propspeed.com.
