In September 2004 the transom and exhaust areas of M/Y Tugatsu had the A Glaze Paint Protection system applied. The areas mentioned had, as always, suffered from paint degradation due to the exhaust fumes continually bellowing down the side of the hull and around the stern. We found that the application of the A Glaze system immediately and dramatically improved the appearance of the vessel. Prior to A Glaze being applied, the stern areas of TUGATSU had to be re-painted annually, however this year, no such work is needed as the A Glaze system has withstood a a busy season and fortunately TUGATSU does not need re-painting, which helps us enormously as the vessel is for sale.
