Horizon Yachts
Since its inception in 1987, Horizon has emerged as Asia’s leading luxury yacht brand. The Horizon Group contributes one-third of Taiwan’s total yacht exports and has taken the country into the top five nations in the world for luxury megayacht construction. Horizon has been awarded ‘Asia’s Best Motor Yacht Builder’ for 13 consecutive years, and is and only member of SYBAss (Superyacht Builders Association) in the Far East.
Propspeed‘s ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from adhering to metal surfaces below the waterline. It is proven to increase boat efficiency, protect against corrosion, reduce drag and save fuel and maintenance costs. It features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, etched primer and clear coat, which ensures that the Propspeed coating effectively adheres to gears and any other metal underwater and performs season after season.
