Make your boat sail-ready again 

Have you had a sturdy winter cover over your boat during the winter? Then it saves you a lot of scrubbing of the deck! A good winter cover keeps your boat clean so you can get back on the water faster in the spring.

Doesn't your boat have a winter coat? No problem. Use these tips to clean your boat again.

• Remove light soiling with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Tip: Do not use ordinary soap, it does more harm than good.
• Heavier soiling is treated with a special tent shampoo. You wet the spray hood thoroughly and apply the shampoo. Rinse it well and then impregnate the spray hood, this is necessary.
• If the zippers have not been used for a long time, you can pull them back and forth several times to keep them supple. If necessary, use a Teflon or PTFE spray (without oil and silicone!)

Through our website, we share even more maintenance tips. Take a quick look through this link:
