Great advice methods you use, I enjoyed listening to you upfront facing the camera that's cool brother! people get their panties twisted like the comment below, when videos don't skip to the action. Sometimes people need to listen and be patient, that's how you learn. I'd walk that entire boat yard shooting the shit with you man you seem like a cool genuine dude with some good tales! Cheers!
I was advised by several sailmakers to use oxalic acid. I cleaned my main from 41ft which was filthy, a big job. Applied acid to wet sail with micro fibre mop all over. Made to instructions on container 100g to 1lt. I kept going over the sail with the mop making sure it stayed wet with the acid for around 15 mins. The stains just come off. Hose off throughly and repeated. Dried in the sun now looking like brand new ⛵️ Oxalic acid is quite mild at these concentrations and used in face peels, beauty products etc. My feet also look brand new and according to several websites I’ve read is a naturally occurring acid in the ground and won’t harm grass or gardens if used correctly.

When installing or rigging a sail, the term is “ bend on,” so to remove its unbend. You can also “ hank on,” of course. While we’re at it, boats aren’t “ driven,” but helmed, steered or captained.

Thank you
Thanks!
Oxalic Acid is great for cleaning sails, especially for removing rust marks!
Rinse off and condition.
Excellent Ill try... They use that for skin peels too. I happen to have a batch.
You have balls hoisting a genoa on hard.

Hi , very interesting, i work for a sail laundry company in the uk. We clean a hundred sails a day in the busy season :)
Tell me what company?
The name of the company?
So you spot clean with peroxide? What was the yellow spot cleaner he was spraying with? That did not look like peroxide? Is it something else?
I added detergent to 3% peroxide
is the runoff bio-degradable???
Mine is but you will have to check with the manufacturer of your product.
Next time make sure that you have your audio in both left AND right channels. Good tutorial otherwise
you listed a few different cleaners, but what cleaner do YOU like most ?
Hi Ron,
Currently, I'm using liquid Tide and spot cleaning with 3% hydrogen peroxide (green bleach)
Unbend the sail ?

UGH!!!! Skip the first 3:00 minutes if you are trying to clean a sail, gramps is a little lonely and talkative.
You poor soul.
