7.2 Surface maintenance

To keep the hull top sides and deck surfaces in a good condition:

  • Wash and wax them regularly.

  • Use mild polishing compounds to treat scratches. 

To care for the hull bottom:

  • Wash the bottom imme­diately after bringing the boat out of the water, so that dirt does not dry onto the surface.

  • Paint the bottom with anti-fouling paint when necessary.

Strong solvents may damage the gloss of the gelcoat surface. 

  • Wash the surfaces with a special boat cleaning agent.

  • Do not use silicon-based waxes.

Do not use substances harmful to the environment. Follow local regulations about acceptable cleaning agents, waxes and paints.
