Post subject: | Cleaning Sails |
My sails are yellow and white to match my yellow and white 74 hobie, the guy i bought them from stored them inside so they are clean exept the bottom portion which was exposed for the 10 some years it sat in a storage box. Needless to say it is now brown from the dirt setting in. What do you clean sails with? I know you dont want to use harsh cleaners as they take the resin out of the sails, but what can I use to scrub the dirt (rust too) stains out? |

Post subject: | Sail cleaners |
There are several products available from Hobie, but a wider choice from West Marine (I think www.westmarine.com). It is good practice to clean the sails after every season since most cleaners also contain sail "preservation" chemicals. If you can, get access to a 55 gal drum to dip your sails in (being careful to not crease mylar sail material) Also throw all your lines in the washer at the end of each season (and plan on spending an evening untangeling the mess ![]() The reason for the cleanliness is not just because it is "near to godliness" ![]() ![]() |
