[Public-List] Antifouling skirts.

I also heard that if you are in freshwater that a visit to saltwater for a short period of time will kill the freshwater organisms as vice versa. Anyone heard of this practice to prolong your haulout?

Dear Listers,
                 There was a Pacific Yachting article some time ago regards an alternative to the yearly haulout and toxic application of various types of antifoul paint. This involved parking your boat inside a floating plaxtc membrane, the principle being that if you denied light to the organisms eyeing your boat, then they would move on to greener pastures.( Your neighbour's boat) The designer had conducted tests in fresh water with very impressive results claimed. The next test was for sea water application but I have not heard or seen any information on this subject. Does anyone have a knowledgable opinion about this possible method of keeping ones bottonm clean! Regards Jonathan.
