Motor Yachts And Boats Protected From Climatic Damage By New Cover System
A new concept in motor yacht and boat preservation is being introduced by the Marine Division of manufacturers EPS Logistics Technology Limited. Used for many years to protect high value road and military vehicles, aircraft and helicopters, the DRICLAD cover system is now available to keep boats safe, dry and protected from external and atmospheric hazards during storage.
Available for motor boats (with trailers) up to 26ft/8m and large boats/yachts up to 90ft/27m, Driclad covers provide cost-effective protection against salt-laden air, humidity, contaminants, sand, dust, fungus, mould and ultra-violet radiation. The covers are both resealable and re-usable over many years, thanks to a special built-in Drilok closure and operate efficiently in all climatic conditions at temperatures from -35°C up to +60°C. The cover system minimises the effects of catalytic corrosion; wooden veneers fittings and soft furnishings do not deteriorate; and all chrome and stainless steel fittings remain untarnished. DRICLAD is also beneficial in the treatment of osmosis.
"Driclad eliminates the need for costly cleaning and maintenance during storage. Boats are ready for instant use. The covers also help improve service history, minimise overall costs and maximise asset value."
The dry atmosphere inside the DRICLAD cover is maintained either by desiccant applications, or by a humidistat controlled dehumidifier, providing a cost-effective and efficient method of humidity control. The atmosphere is monitored by humidity indicators visible through external vision panels. Access is easy at any point along the re-sealable DRILOK closure, or (for large boat covers) through a pedestrian entrance.
The covers are custom made and are available for most models. DRICLAD is also available for Personal Watercraft (complete with trailer) of all sizes and makes.
