Got a wild hair and decided to try sanding off the decals on out side of boat. Noticed the discolored area next to the decal started turning white. I'm thinking they used gel paste and not gel coat as finish. Planning on putting a layer of gel coat on it this spring. Bet it look a lot better,. Also noticed the cracked area looks better after a bit of sanding on it. Buffing this boat out when it warms up should make it look really great .
Washed sail bag and sail cover. New sail cover is definitely on the agenda. It will not come clean. Sailbag is PVC cloth ( I thik) and was not really dirty but wanted to get teh red dust out of it.
Figured out why the red mud was not acting like plain old fashioned red mud when I washed the sails. Dirt dobbers had made apartment complexes out of the back of the vinyl covered boards. One board was so thick with dabber nest it literally was covered end to end. I'm figuring the enzymes are what is making the dirt so hard to get out. Need to find an enzyme cleaner that is safe for Dacron.
