Sonic Antifouling for Powerboat, Sailboat

Motorboat, Ship, Yachts, Catamaran, Trimaran

Ship hulls littered with algae and shells are a great nuisance for every boat owner. Not only is the unattractive appearance annoying, but the ships also suffer long-term damage from the algae. In the beginning the algae and mussels make the materials rough and destroy the paint, after a longer time the hulls even become brittle. The protective coatings often used, on the other hand, are an expensive, labour-intensive and environmentally damaging measure.

Sailing without algae, mussel growth for more speed and fun

The Y-Sonic Antifouling Algae Cleaner reliably prevents the adhesion of algae by means of click tones. Already infested hulls will also be freed sustainably. The effect sets in quickly, after a few weeks the algae die off and can be wiped off.

Suitable for boats, yachts, catamarans made of GRP, steel or aluminium. For catamarans the application per hull should be used. Depending on algae infestation, up to 10% fuel can be saved during engine operation. By installing the antifouling system, the hull speed increases through the water, reducing the resistance in the water.

Hull from motorboat algae-free

Are antifouling paints still necessary?

We always recommend the combination of antifouling with our click system. Nevertheless, we have very good references without antifouling, only with our click system. The ship’s hulls are freed from algae and kept free exclusively by high-precision clicks. The nutrient concentration in the water is decisive. For example, if there is a high level of algae in the water or the gelcoat is of poor quality, antifouling may have to be applied in addition to the click system. The combination of antifouling with the algae eliminator always works better than each individual system.

The installation of the algae collector is simple: the click generator is attached to the inside of the ship’s hull (ideally in the bilge). The click tones are then through the entire fuselage. You do not need a specialist for installation. Once in use, the device does not require any maintenance.

The purchase price of a Y-Sonic 10 / Y-Sonic 20 is refinanced within a very short time and the effective system eliminates the need for expensive antifouling paints.

Thanks to the algae-free hull, the boat glides through the water with little resistance. With the algae remover an antifouling coat is not necessary every year.

Is an antifouling on the ship, yacht, boat necessary?

We always recommend the combination of antifouling with our click system. Nevertheless, we have very good references without antifouling, only with our click system, where only the hull is kept free by high-precision clicks. The decisive factor is the Nutrient concentration in water. However, there are also experiences where e.g. with a high algae concentration or a worse quality of the gelcoat, hard lacquer the click tones alone are not enough, just like the antifouling. The combination of antifouling with the click system always works better than each system individually.

Annual antifouling coatings are no longer necessary, the hull glides better through the water thanks to the lower resistance. The biofilm still remains slightly, but without algae or mussel formation. The hull of the yacht, boat or ship is thus protected against algae infestation.

Due to the very low energy consumption of effectively 30 watts, operation with battery-buffered solar collectors is possible. The Solar Charger is responsible for the control.

The Y-Sonic 20 has a preventive and curative effect on boats/vessels with fiberglas GRP, plastic, carbon, steel and aluminium hulls. The Y-Sonic 20 is for yachts, boats and ships over 10m length, up to 20m length.
