We’ve received some fantastic entries so far for our new photo competition. Celebrating special occasions and times aboard your Riviera is what this competition is all about. For the Riviera team and our global family of yacht owners, it is always inspiring to see Riviera owners making so many lasting memories in amazing boating locations around the world.
Propspeed® creates an ultra-slick, hydrophobic and non-stick surface for your propellers, shafts, pods, bow thrusters and rudders – keeping them free from marine growth and corrosion.
Our prize includes:
Every new Riviera motor yacht comes with the added protection of Propspeed® foul-release coating applied to propellers and underwater drive gear. This strong, long-lasting defence against marine growth and corrosion improves performance, lowers fuel and operational costs all whilst protecting your investment. It also has sustainable properties that reduce the spread of invasive species and is a biocide-free coating system.
Specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline, Propspeed®’s Clear Coat has both excellent foul-resistance in static conditions and superior foul-release properties in operation. It creates a hydrophobic surface using molecules that do not mix with water and therefore becomes a foul-release, not an antifoul.
Clear Coat is also an excellent insulator that reduces the risk of corrosion by electrically isolating the metal and limiting the exchanges between the ions and the gases contained in the water and the metal. The Etching Primer that is part of the system is a self-healing coating that chemically passivates the metal surface in any damaged areas, keeping your running gear electrochemically protected through harsh conditions.
Riviera strives to deliver the best in luxury and performance for our motor yacht owners and the inclusion of the Propspeed® coating system is just another reason why you will enjoy boating more with Riviera.
Over the coming months, every photo submitted will be entered into our competition for the chance to win this special Riviera prize. The winner will be determined by our readers voting for their favourite photo from the submission gallery that will be published in Edition 7. The winner will be announced in our Edition 8.
