If the thought of sailing through a Melbourne winter isn’t too appealing, now is the perfect time to have your sails serviced and checked over.
Regular maintenance of your sails, one of the most critical components of any sailing boat, is always good practice. Taking the time to inspect stitching, battens and high-load areas now can help prevent small issues turning into costly repairs down the track.
Removing sails from the boat over winter also helps reduce standing water and moisture build-up, minimising the risk of mould, UV damage and long-term deterioration. Stored correctly, you’ll not only extend the life of your sails, but also ensure they’re ready to perform when the warmer months return.
