2013-2014 off season Projects – Sail Cleaning

My brother and I decided to give the sails a cleaning.

We setup a cleaning process that started with a 32 gallon trash can with water and Oxyclean. We let the sails soak for 30 minutes then pulled them out of the can onto a table a small section at a time and brushed them with a soft brush. Once one side was done we turned them over and put them back into the can and repeated the process.


We spread the sails on the driveway to rinse them with a hose and then setup a drying rack using several ladders.



We have 3 sails (main, genoa, work jib) and cleaned all three. It took a total of 6 hours to clean/rinse/dry them.
