SPEED & SAFETY
- COPPERCOAT GIVES ‘DRY
SAILING’ PERFORMANCE,
WITHOUT THE HASSLE - COASTKEY GIVES SAFETY
IN THE EVENT OF M.O.B.
David and the team at
ABS Technologies Marine
would love to hear your
story, and help make your
boating more economical,
enjoyable and safer.Looking for an alternative to antifouling, or
a means of enhancing crew safety whether
for the club safety boat or your yacht?
ABS Technologies Marine can help.
Tens of thousands of boat owners around
the world have converted to the Coppercoat
system as an alternative to antifouling
paint - whether old or new, fibreglass or
wood, steel or aluminium. Apart from
the freedom and savings from annual
antifouling, performance improvements
are independently documented.
Then there is M.O.B. – being flung from a
speeding boat is risky. For the boat to leave
you behind, or come back to run you over
can be fatal. CoastKey has the solution. You
hit the water – CoastKey hits the kill-switch,
enabling you to return to the boat, or a crew
to re-start the engine and recover you.To speak with David: 08 8398 5560

Tanilba Bay Sailing Club put on a great regatta in testing conditions for the
Taipan National Championship. In true goldilocks style the bay produced
too much, too little and just perfect wind conditions, giving our champs a
well-deserved title. Luckily the big breeze found sailors at the end of the regatta
giving us the chance to go hard and go home.
