How to Dry a Sailboat

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Ches Rainier, welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about some techniques used to clean a fiberglass boat. Okay, now that we've done our rinse down, now we can go ahead and start drying the boat. I like to use this, it's just a shammy, that way it's reusable, use it over and over again. Pretty much you want to get all the stainless dry as quick as you can to avoid water spotting because most water systems are going to be running with hard water and you're always going to get deposits on the windows and the stainless steel. So just as long as you get to that stuff first, it kind of helps avoid some of the hard work later. If your boat's at a slip, you can put in a water softener filter, and that way you won't really have to do this step because your water's going to be soft water and it's not going to spot as bad."
