    Sail cleaning DIY

    in MarineTalk

    Posted

    If you have a large wheelie bin soak the sail in it as an alternative.  Use plenty of Napisan or similiar. Use the hose on full to agitate the mix and foam the product.  Granules in the bottom of the bin do nothing.  Soak for a coupla daze.  Rinse off and dry.  Dacron sails tend to continue to whiten.

    We've already got the fine mesh over the gutters.  Problem is with, being under trees, we get so much debris sitting on the roof which the rainwater has to penetrate to get into the gutters.  We ( I ) just need to get up there as often as possible and keep the roof clean(er).  I knew this before we bought the property, not something that's just occurred tous.

     

    Pretty soon we'll get a man in with a chainsaw and prune back some of the puriri - being the main culprit, as well as the one the *$$%@  possums sit in dropping berries on our heads.......

     

    ...... really should have it's own thread this one  ;-)

    Yeah - 'cept the roof hasn't been cleaned in years - and we're under a Puriri, Rimu and a Kauri.  Downpipe's not been purged in months.  Water in the toilet bowls are brown with small bits of treewood

     

    So.... need a good flushing all round

     

    Had a boatbuilder mate round earlier. Took both of us about 40 minutes to figure out the layout of the tank plumbing.

     

    Got there in the end :wtf:
