        Yes it is. I vaguely recall hearing/reading something about easy-to-apply hydrophobic coatings a while back. I guess this is the stuff.

        Gotta wonder how durable/abrasion resistant it is and how long it lasts.

            Depending on durability, could this finally be an affordable alternative to Prop Speed?

              My boat is still on the hard and I've been trying to work up the guts to buy and try to apply propspeed, but at $500, I can't seem to pull the trigger. Neverwet looks like it could be a potential answer. I just sent them an email asking if they have any data on using this product on boat running gear. Fascinating product and if it works like it says, could be a game-changer.

                Might be good for sail covers.

                  Hmm

                  I have seen this a couple of times now. The price is high however it works on a prop or the bottom WOW.

                  A few years back a member of our YC was involved in a bit of testing of a product that they said was a "special 2 pt epoxy" that was simply to hard and to "slick" for growth to get a good hold of for growing and sticking. Some stuff did and would grow but once you hit the ocean and about 12~15 kts I think it was all growth would just "fall off" and you again had a slick bottom to play on. For sailboats it was marketed as reducing your diver charges as the hull could be brushed off with a soft rag or cleaned in a few minutes with little effort. I got to play with a few small samples that were hung next to his boat. After being in for a month you could COMPLETELY clean with your fingers. They said it would cost about 5K for a 30 footer and would last over 5 years. Haven't heard anything since!!!

                  I wonder if this is a spin=off of the same " slick-tech"?
