Might be a while before it trickles down to us mere mortals.

We mere mortals may not move quickly enough for this coating to be a reliable anti fouling

Thats very impressive a 20% fuel saving.
If the drag reduction lasted for the 18 mth trial thats very good. Some lobster boats here aren't that fast but no detail on those Nova scotia ones.
Ship owners will love it.
Wonder if the noise reduction is just because the engine is under less load or is that a function of the paint too?
