1. Cleaning and care:

Regular cleaning of yachts is a simple and important method of yacht maintenance. Daily cleaning can not only keep the yacht clean and beautiful, but also reduce the long-term wear and marks on the surface of the yacht. Above the waterline, you can use waxing to maintain the yacht, while below the waterline, you need antifouling paint. When cleaning the yacht, consider not polluting the water as much as possible.

Many of the scratches on the surface of the hull are not produced during the use of the ship, but are worn on the dock. Therefore, it is very important to properly dock at the dock and the appropriate cable tension.
