Hello John. I trust all is well.
Canadian Yachting OnBoard (Sept 13) wrote about a new product called “DeFoul”. It is a product to remove bottom paint. I am interested in the product so I’ve done some basic research. It is interesting to note the folks who make the stuff have not disclosed the ingredients that make up this product. I’ve done a google search and many people complain about the same issue.
In my mind, if the manufacturer will not disclose what makes up the stuff, then it must not be government approved. Is Canadian Yachting advertising a potentially toxic product that is not government approved?
Best regards

Hello,
I am currently working on behalf on Frank Rothwell, a sailer from the UK who believes he is the first person to circumnavigate the America’s in a Figure Of Eight (please see attached image for a more detailed route description) . We are working towards getting Frank a Guinness World Record certificate and are hoping you might be able to help us.
Do you allow readers to write questions into your magazine? Before we can make the record claim we have to complete research into it, and I am hoping your readers might know if anybody else has completed Frank’s route before, if you could publish the question or a letter alongside the image of the journey and a place the could contact me ( franksfigureof8@outlook.com ) with information it would be a great help to us. Please let me know if your magazine would include something like this.
Please reply at your earliest convenience,
Leoni Horton
