Boat Storage & Hull Care: Advanced Sailing Video Lessons

It is a simple thing that makes a difference, especially with a sail boat. A lot people who keep their boat in the water overlook a simple thing like the marine growth on your hull. Over time, this build up can slow down the performance of the boat and actually cause some damage, as marine growth will leach minerals into the hull itself; potentially, it will pop out in little divides all over your expensive boat. Now if you keep your hull elevated out of the water, or perhaps on a trailer, you can keep it smooth and efficient. All the maintenance you would have to do is occasional sanding—a light sanding—perhaps the addition of some Teflon of some other form of wax.
