One of the big winners at the recent Paris Boat Show is a drive-in hull cleaner, as Marine Industry News reports.

G&G Boatwash was awarded the jury prize and €1,000 in the innovation category for its appropriately named Drive-in Boatwash, which promises to scrub fouling from boats in just 15 minutes — negating the need for antifouling paint.

Already the technology is operating at more than 15 marinas in the manufacturer’s home base of Sweden as well as in Norway, Finland, Canada, the US — and Les Sables-d’Olonne in France, where boats of up to 53ft in length can be accomodated.
