24 May,2022

1, daily fresh water cleaning the whole ship The boat is moored in water with high humidity and salt, and its surface is very easy to form salt crystals. This crystalline layer has the effect of accelerating the aging of the gel coat surface under light. Therefore, the boat should be washed with fresh water every day or every two days to wash away salt crystals and dust on the surface. In addition, the chemical composition contained in the feces of birds can also damage the gel coat layer, so it should be cleaned in time. After each cleaning, the hull should be dried immediately with a dry cloth (especially stainless steel parts and glass parts). If the water is left to dry naturally, it is easy to leave water stains, which will be difficult to clean up completely. 2. Polishing and waxing of the whole ship (to be completed before the middle of April each year) The working environment of the sailboat is relatively harsh, and it has been subjected to the combined effects of sea water, sunshine, dust, wind and rain for a long time. In order to slow down the oxidative aging of the gelcoat layer on the surface of the sailboat, the surface of the sailboat should be polished and waxed every year. The uniform high-quality wax film can effectively isolate the erosion of the gelcoat from sea water, air and dust. Let the surface of the sailboat shine again. Maintenance procedures: ① Wash and dry the hull ② According to the damage of the hull surface gel coat, select coarse wax/fine wax polishing ③ Rinse and wipe clean again ④ Polish with protective wax QQ screenshot 20180731135909.png 3. Indoor maintenance Due to the activities of personnel and the humid environment in which they are located, the indoor of the sailing boat also needs regular professional maintenance to ensure the quality of indoor furniture, clean indoor environment and mold intrusion. ① In the case of sailboats are not used, clean the indoor sanitation once a week, mainly for dust removal and garbage cleaning. ② Every six months for indoor furniture and floor waxing maintenance. ③ Carpet: The carpet in the cabin is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner once a week, and professionally cleaned every six months to remove bacteria, dust, and food residues and stains. ④ Toilet: The toilet should be kept clean and cleaned immediately after each voyage or when needed, including walls, floors, shower heads, faucets, handles, toilets, sewage outlets, etc. And according to the use of the situation, the choice of monthly or quarterly disinfection with disinfection water. 4. Cleaning of sails (for sailboats) Sail and hull, is also in a salty and wet environment for a long time, if not cleaned for a long time, crystallization in the crease of salt, will cause a certain degree of erosion on the sail surface, so every once in a while, the sail surface cleaning once. When cleaning, use a neutral cleaning liquid. After cleaning, dry the sails and put them away. 5. Bottom cleaning Because the hull is moored in the water for a long time, there will be marine organisms attached to the bottom of the ship, which not only reduces the speed, but also causes the loss of fuel. Therefore, the bottom of the ship should be cleaned regularly. Usually before the peak season of each year, the sailing boat is towed ashore, the bottom of the boat is cleaned of attachments, and before the sailing boat is launched, the bottom of the boat below the waterline is painted with anti-fouling paint. 6. Clean anti-collision ball Clean the anti-collision ball regularly so that it is always bright and clean. 7, timely maintenance In addition to daily maintenance procedures, cleaning and maintenance services are provided immediately after each use of the boat, rain, snow and other weather conditions.
