The Armus Brazil team takes center stage in showcasing the exceptional performance of Armus Hull Pro self-leveling coating on a magnificent 60' Azimut yacht. This case study delves deeper into the effortless application process, explores the significant fuel-saving benefits crucial for larger vessels, and unpacks the simplified maintenance routine that Hull Pro offers for owners of grand yachts.

STREAMLINED APPLICATION FOR A FLAWLESS FINISH

Armus Brazil's team brings their expertise to the table, ensuring a smooth and efficient application of Hull Pro on the expansive hull of the 60' Azimut. The self-leveling technology inherent to Hull Pro eliminates the possibility of uneven coating, guaranteeing a flawless, mirror-like finish across the entire underwater surface. This meticulous application not only enhances the Azimut's aesthetics, transforming it into a true head-turner on the water, but also lays the foundation for superior performance by optimizing the yacht's profile for maximum efficiency.

COST-CONSCIOUS YACHTING: FUEL SAVINGS TAKE CENTER STAGE

Fuel efficiency is a critical factor for larger vessels like the 60' Azimut. Extensive cruising ranges necessitate a focus on optimizing fuel consumption. Hull Pro's ultra-smooth surface plays a starring role in this endeavor. By significantly reducing drag, Hull Pro has the potential to increase the cruising speed of the Azimut. This translates not only to faster travel times but also to a noticeable improvement in fuel economy.

For yacht owners, these translate to substantial cost savings over time, allowing them to spend more time enjoying the freedom and exhilaration of voyages on the water, and less time worrying about fuel budgets. The potential increase in cruising range due to Hull Pro's efficiency improvements can also open up new cruising destinations, extending the horizons of yachting adventures for owners.

EFFORTLESS UPKEEP FOR ENDURING PERFORMANCE

Maintaining a Hull Pro-coated hull on the Azimut is a breeze compared to traditional antifouling solutions. This translates into more time spent enjoying the yachting lifestyle and less time dedicated to tedious maintenance. While growth rates of marine organisms vary depending on the specific waters you navigate, our experience suggests cleaning cycles can range from bi-weekly to monthly dives.   

The key here is proactive action – address any minor growth before it becomes a stubborn issue. For any persistent marine growth that manages to establish itself, simply pull the Azimut into port and opt for a power wash or an acid bath. These methods effectively remove unwanted organisms without harming the integrity of the Hull Pro coating.   

However, it's important to remember that metal scrapers are strictly off-limits. Their abrasive nature can damage the coating and compromise its ability to deliver long-lasting protection. By following these simple guidelines, Azimut owners can experience the enduring performance benefits of Hull Pro. This ensures your magnificent yacht remains a source of pride and delivers exceptional cruising experiences for years to come.
