Sailing - Mooring Marine

Planning to go to your desired area by boat can be a stressful situation at first. Some sailors use their previous sailing trips as benchmarks to determine the optimal time to leave the docks. But if you haven’t made this particular type of sailing trip before, past experience may not be a great guide. Instead of using past boating experiences to predict the approximate arrival times, we can use a simple calculation to help you estimate approximately how long to sail 100 miles.

Of course, we can only get a rough estimate from this number, as a variety of other factors such as weather conditions, wind speed, obstacles, etc. will play into the final result.

But let’s start with the basics.

As all boat owners know, owning a boat means owning responsibilities. Teak cleaning, bottom painting, washing, waxing, maintenance. You have to learn to love these activities if you’re a boat owner.

And somehow it’s much more satisfying to clean a boat than it is to clean, say, the living room! I’m not sure why that is.

Either you learn to embrace the cleaning, or you pay someone else to do it all for you.

One of the biggest maintenance tasks boat-owners constantly deal with is cleaning their boat seats. If you’ve got an enclosed cabin, then your seats will probably stay pretty clean. But any exposed vinyl on a flying bridge or open cockpit will deteriorate and get nasty.

In this article, we’ll look at how to clean boat seats, and how to maintain clean marine vinyl seats.
