Summary: If you own a sailboat, you’ve probably already figured out that the easiest way to clean it is to hire someone else to clean for you. But for you hands-on boat owners--and especially for you enterprising young travelers looking for ways to fund your world tour--Expert Village now demonstrates the fine art of cleaning a yacht from topside to hull and all of the tricky spots in between.

Ches Rainier has sailed around the world and cleaned many boats in many harbors. Follow along in this series of free instructional videos as he shows you how to clean everything from the polished steel accessories and engine to the windows and floor. He even tells you how to clean the galley and the head (kitchen and bathroom to you land lubbers who might just be watching this series for who-knows-what reason, perhaps to create a setting or a scene for your new adventure novel without ever leaving the comfort of your own home). And to make sure your clean sailboat stays that way as long as possible, he also shows you how to wax it.
