Extending the lifespan
By regularly cleaning and waterproofing your sails, you extend their lifespan. You protect the sailcloth from aging, which results in less wear and tear and helps them maintain their strength.
Protection against friction
While sailing, friction can occur between the sails and the hardware, such as winches and pulleys. Friction can lead to wear. Regularly cleaning and waterproofing the sails protects them from this friction.
Reduction of pollution
Sails can quickly become dirty due to rain, sun, saltwater, and other environmental factors. Regular cleaning keeps the sails in good condition.
Improvement of aerodynamics
Dirty and unprotected sails are less efficient at catching the wind. By regularly cleaning and waterproofing, you increase the aerodynamic efficiency of your sails.
Enhancement of appearance
Clean and waterproofed sails look better, which enhances the overall appearance of your boat. This is particularly important if you plan to sell or rent out your boat, or when you are selling your sails.
