Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0244020A1] The invention concerns a device for cleaning parts of a boat immersed in water. Said device is characterised in that it comprises at least a cleaning unit (1) comprising first means (10) generating a high-pressure cleaning fluid jet (103) and second means (11) generating low-pressure gas jets, said second means (11) enabling to define a volume (114) wherein the density is particularly reduced relative to that of the surrounding water, such as a space free or almost free of water, around said cleaning fluid jet (103), said space (114) extending from said first generating means (10) up to the surface of said immersed parts to be cleaned. The invention is useful for cleaning pleasure boats, motor-boats, barges, without beaching them.
