Anyone have any advice on how to clean the sails? Mine is white and a little discolored/dirty. |

A mild detergent (Dawn) and a medium scrub brush should take care of most dirt. Use a non-bleach whitener (Oxy-Clean, or anything with oxalic acid in it - Zud, Barkeeper's Friend, etc.) on tougher stains. Spread the sail out on a soft surface (grass) and scrub gently. To rinse & dry, hoist the sail without the boom (you can leave the battens in) and without putting the luff rope in the sail track. Rinse thoroughly, especially when you use the oxalic acid stuff. |
