Most of us like to be involved with our
boat, not only when underway. Your
Bavaria yacht represents a substantial
asset and will be even more pleasing to
own if it is well maintained and cared for.
With this, our specially selected boat
care and maintenance products will help
you to achieve the best possible results.

This is especially valid in the underwater
sections of your boat. It will do no harm at
all to completely remove all layers of paint
and to completely renew the entire paint
job including primers every couple of
years. Only then you will be able to fully inspect
the hull and only then will the protective
coating really last. To simply hose
down the boat with the high-pressure
hose in autumn and then add another
layer of anti-fouling paint ion spring will
not really be adequate, because then an
ever thicker, and less and less lasting and
protective, coating of paint will build up
over the years.
Topsides, decks and other GRP surfaces
should regularly be cleaned and conserved
so that the Gelcoat will stay strong and
glossy for many years. When doing this,
you will also find the minor damages that
might otherwise escape notice and will be
able to repair these with the relevant products
from our series, before a minor
scratch grows to become a big problem.
Working on the boat can be heaps full of
fun. Or would there be any better reason
to abandon the washing up in the kitchen
or to let the weed go wild in the garden?
Once the boat calls, all else becomes
secondary. Or not?
