How to Repair Sails On Your Sailboat

Even if you try to avoid any sail damage to your sailboat, there will be a time, unfortunately, when they get damaged at sea. So, what happens in the event of sail damage? Of course, the fact is that you’ll have to repair them while at sea and then quickly do a damage assessment. For that, you will probably need someone to lend you a hand and a flat surface to place the sail open. But before we get to the details on how to DIY repair a sail tear on your sailboat remember to be prepared for any unexpected scenario. In other words, having the right tools and supplies onboard gives you a huge advantage in dealing with the problem. Some of the basic tools include a waxed twine, a selection of sail needles, sharp scissors, spare webbing, and a sticky-back Dacron. Let’s move on and see the details!

Stitching your Sails

It is of great importance for a sailor to be able to stitch a sail by hand. If you know how to do this, it’s really practical in case of a chafe or of any other torn seams. The process is really simple. Firstly, make one pass to stitch on one set of diagonals as well as to the opposite direction and then fill in the other set. This can be applied in case you are following an existing zigzag stitch. Moreover, the sailor’s palm will facilitate you in order to force the needle through the fabric, and pliers will help you pull the needle through it. Remember to melt the ends of each knot with a lighter to prevent any loosening, as well as try to make tight stitches to ensure a strong repair. Buy a Sail Repair Kit From Amazon

Patch Repairs

For repairs that are not on a seam, a patch fix is necessary. You can use a Dacron patch for almost everything except spinnakers. Dacron can even stick to many laminate sails on the film side, but not on some resin-based and silicone-covered sails. In addition, dacron tapes come in different forms of thickness rolls and you can also buy larger sheets. Naturally, sails are not flat and they’re made up of panels that create depth. However, due to its design, when the surface you lay it on is flat it might pose you a problem. So do some temporary tucks and folds in the cloth, but away from the rip, and try to keep it flat. So, be patient and follow the below-mentioned procedure:

The space you’re going to “work” is essential. Find a dry and safe place with a flat surface like below the saloon table or even on a chopping board.
Always clean your fabric of salt with a freshwater rinse. Then allow a few moments for the fabric to dry. Continue by removing any residues with rubbing alcohol. This tip facilitates the drying process, as the alcohol evaporates.
Most of the time, some sails (mostly white), tear in lines. For that reason, they shouldn’t be pulled too close together or overlap each other. Otherwise, their shape will change, and thus loading will be created. In case the tear has gone off in different directions repair the longest first.

Seam Repairs

In order to make sure that no seams are starting to appear, try to check your sails daily. It’s not particularly hard for a seam to be unstitched, right in the middle of your voyage. So, if you see any loose stitching, put the sail down immediately, if possible, in order to get it fixed. Stitching a seam back together is a task that requires some time and attention. However, it’s much easier than dealing with ripped fabric. When you stitch seam you just work your way methodically back through all the holes. Try finding a comfy place on deck to work because it might be difficult to move a large sail down below. And remember that “a stitch in time saves nine”!

Patch and Glue

Sail damage can be also caused by a tear to the sun protection on roller-furling headsails. If that happens don’t put new holes in your sail in order to stitch up the tear. This will be really time consuming. Use instead some sticky-back which definitely is an efficient and fast solution. Although you have to take the sail down and put it back up to do that, sticky-back is the answer to this problem.

The first step is to cut the corners of the patch round in order to keep them from peeling off the sail. Then clean the whole area from the repair with acetone, and once the patch is ready, rub from the center to the edge with a scissor handle in order to make sure that it’s totally adhered. Furthermore, sticky-back patches work efficiently for small holes in the actual fabric of the sail. If any holes appear in the fabric then use patches on both sides of the sail, an inch or two larger than the rip in all directions. Keep in mind to slightly counterbalance the two patches so that the load won’t spread out around the repair. Also, take with you ripstop sticky-back to match the colors on any downwind sails, as well as small, pre-cut round patches, which can be practical for small holes in nylon sails.

A lot of spinnakers are no longer stitched and are put together just with tape, so if you need to make a repair it’s a particularly easy task. For most repairs a sticky back spinnaker repair tape is fine. Try not to change the panel’s shape and don’t use too much cloth for the patch. This way you’ll avoid generating unnecessary loads and stress lines. Instead, use the same amount of cloth for the patch so it moves and stretches simultaneously. Also, in case that a tear passes through the panels, repair one panel at a time and not all together. This way each panel is going to move and stretch as it was designed to.

One of the things that need occasional repairs on your sails is fabric. Fabric is one of the most vulnerable parts of your sails. Most of the time, when a sailboat uses its slab reefing it will subsequently wear out the webbing attachments to the tack rings. Therefore a failure of the webbing connection to the mainsail luff slides will be caused. As I’ve mentioned before, the most practical and easy solution to this is to be equipped with twine, a webbing, a needle, and a sailor’s palm . In case you don’t have the correct size of webbing, then Spectra cord can attach a slide fairly well.

These repairs are permanent and won’t take you more than an hour. Another sail damage for many sailboats with full-length battens might be caused by the connection point between the batten and the luff track on the mast. The best thing to do if that happens is to apply West System epoxy along with 3M adhesive sealant 5200 fast cure . This will untie your hands and is also an easy task to perform.

Common Damage Areas

Spinnakers : Anything sharp can damage the spinnakers. Especially near the boom, so check that everything is taped up. Also, spinnakers tend to get caught between the shrouds and above the spreaders so consider closing off this gap with a bungee.
Spreader and Rig Chafe : When you’re sailing downwind the mainsail spends a lot of time relaxing on the rig. Keep in mind to fill your spreaders with pipe insulation. Moreover, consider having extra reinforcement patches for the spreaders on the batten pockets and at each reef point.
Spreader Ends : Always reinforce the sail and put smooth cages around protrusions. In addition, wrap foam around your spreader caps on long voyages.
Bottom of the Headsail : Try to lower the halyard enough in order to reach the damaged section. Then reinforce with a sail repair tape . In case the conditions don’t favor you to do so, keep a wrap in the sail to take the pressure off the damage.

Summary – How to Repair the Sails

All this is much easier if your sails aren’t damaged in the first place. But, I know for a fact that sometimes you can’t prevent it from happening. In any case, always be alert to what is going on with the rags. Moreover, always carry a sail repair kit (link to Amazon) on board especially for long-distance cruising. Before leaving for any long trip have also a sailmaker service to check your sails for any weak points. Last but not least, in case that your sails are damaged at sea reinforce any loose stitching immediately and tape both sides of repairs to ensure extra strength.

Sail Repair What to Do and How to Do It

Most sailors approach sail repair with the same confident enthusiasm with which they might attempt brain surgery. This sense of foreboding often benefits die saibnaker (who, as a result, gets a lot of business), but not the offshore cruiser whose self-sufficiency in every aspect of maintaining his/her vessel and its attendant gear is vitally important.

There's a mystique surrounding sails — perhaps since their operating principle (turned 90 degrees) consists of the same magic that keeps airplanes in the sky. However, fixing sails really is straightforward — trust me.

The first step in sail repair is assessment: ascertaining just what needs fixing — and in some cases if the sail is worth putting time and materials into.

The initial clue regarding a sail's condition is its age. Dacron sailcloth will last approximately 8-10 years (longer if a sail's use is seasonal or infrequent). The amount of abuse and exposure to light a sail endures determines its useful life. Dacron has two major enemies: ultraviolet deterioration and chafe. The mo« effective maintenance routine for dacron is to cover it when it's not in use and to protect it from wear against spreaders, spars, running and standing rigging, pulpits, cotter keys, saikrack fittings, and hardware integral to the sail itself. A less obvious form of chafe is dirt and salt in the weave of the cloth — keeping a sail clean extends its life. Remember, flogging a sail may resuk in severe wear and tear, not to mention a resounding racket that assures unwanted attention on the helmsperson or sheet trimmer.

The assessment procedure is a thorough inspection which both local and coastal cruisers should do annually and offshore cruisers should conduct prior to each passage. The process begins with laying the sail out full on a clean, fiat surface. Location-wise, a sail loft floor is the obvious first choice. However, I've used domestic and foreign airplane hangars, runways, gymnasiums, bams, ballrooms, tennis courts, parking lots, pool halls, tropical resort lawns and golf courses to name a few. Be creative and improvise — you'll probably have to during the rest of the repair process!

When spreading the sail, make sure reinforcing patches at head, tack and clew, batten pockets and reef points are "up" for viewing. Remove sheets, battens and shackles. The sail is now ready for inspection.

.Use the following "laundry list" to assess your sail. Be sure to take careful notes and mark the sail with pencil so you can find the areas that need attention later.

1. Look for broken stitches in the head reinforcing patch.

2. Examine the headboard or head ring for elongation or deterioration.

3. Check the sailcloth, luff tape and/or boltrope around the headboard for wear.

4. Make sure slides in or around the headboard are secured well and that their method of attachment isn't chafing the headboard, sailcloth, or bail of the slide.

There was an English sailor who neglected the above item and, as a result, provided gainful sail repair employment for me while I was waylaid in Nassau. The slide at the head — where loading is the greatest — chafed through its seizing and departed from his mainsail after a transAtlantic passage. While cruising in the Bahamas, a gale in the "Tongue of the Ocean" blew up and the mainsail slide two feet down the luff from the headboard (not meant to take the load without a slide in the headboard above it) tore out. So did die grommet it was secured to. Almost immediately, moat of the slides and grommets below it yanked out and the boltrope was liberated from the mainsails leading edge as well. Had this mainsail been properly made with two slides at the head, handsewn rinp instead of grommets along the luff for the luff slides to be secured to, and a boltrope handsewn around the head and along the leech the length of the head reinforcing patch (see illus. 1) this probably wouldn't have happened. That's a construction story, not a repair story, however. Back to our list.

5. Check for chafe and broken stitches in the luff tape and boltrope both between and under each luff slide, working your way down the luff towards the tack.

6. Make sure each slide on the luff is in good condition, is seized securely to its ring or grommet, and that the seizing is not wearing the sail or slide.

C. Mainsail headboard with internal boltrope (production standard).

D. "Quick and dirty" headboard installation — no boltrope

E. Head of baaenless mainsail — note head ring instead of headboard.

IBus: 1: Construction options for the heads of mainsails.

7. Check that each grommet or handaewn ring on the luff which the slide is seized to is not corroded or pulling out.

8. Examine the reef reinforcing patch for broken stitches.

9. Make sure the reef tack ring isn't corroded, elongated or coming out of the tack reinforcing patch.

10. Examine the bokrope or luff tape for chafe where the reefing tackle might abrade when it's engaged.

11 Observe the tack reinforcing patch for broken stitches.

12. Make sure the tack ring is in good condition and securely in place.

13. Note if there is chafe on the ckxh, boltrope or leather around the tack ring.

14. Proceed along the foot looking for broken stitches and chafe in the dacron tape or boltrope.

15. If there are slides on the foot of the sail, make sure they are in good condition and properly fastened to the sail.

16. Make sure grommets or rings along the foot which slides are attached to aren't corroded or pulling out.

17. Monitor clew patch for broken stitches.

18. Note chafe in the sailcloth, boltrope or leathers around the dew ring.

19. Make certain clew ring is in good condition and securely in place.

20. Observe the entire leech, noting broken stitches in the leech hem.

21. See if the leech line inside the leech hem is chafing through the hem.

22. Ensure that the leech line cleat is in operable condition.

23. Check to see if the leech line works (i.e. tightens the leech when pulled).

24. Examine stitches in the reef reinforcing patches on the leech.

25. Survey the condition of the sailcloth around reinforcing patches.

The importance of the above item became all too clear to me while aboard a schooner in the Bahamas. A controlled jibe shockingly resulted in the sail splitting from leech to luff. It was blowing hard and we were reefed. The tear began in the sailcloth directly above the reef reinforcing patch and continued lightning-bolt style, 4-6" up to the seam above the reinforcing patch and shot across the entire width of the sail in seconds.

Almost immediately, most of the slides • and grommets below it yanked out and the boltrope was liberated from the mainsail's leading edge as well. -r'.

Had we observed the weakened sailcloth surrounding the reef reinforcing patch and added a larger "cover patch" over the original reinforcing, this disabling circumstance could have been avoided. Repairing the sail was no minor feat and required usurping loft space, time and took from the British America's Cup Lionhart syndicate's boatyard complex. I still consider this a diplomatic miracle. The logistics of coming an<l going with a 500 square foot mainsail in pieces by overloaded dinghy to avoid being in the loft when the syndicate needed it is a story in itself — but back to sail assessment...

26. Look for chafe around the reef ring that might be caused by reefing tackle.

27. Observe condition of the reef ring.

28. Carefully monitor batten pockets for chafe or holes on both sides of the sail.

29. Having arrived back at the head, walk or crawl along each seam looking for broken stitches.

30. Check each panel for tears.

31. Make sure the stitches that hold reef point reinforcements in place are in good order.

32. Make sure reef point rings or grommets aren't corroded or pulling out.

33. Congratulate yourself! You've just completed a thorough inspection of your sail; it's not often in life that we confront thinjp far bigger than ourselves.

A. Outer square is the seui-to line with strike-ups. Inner square is the cut line (the tear will be cut out of the sad doth along the cut-lines)

B. The patch in place may be sewn by hand (as shown) or zig-zag machine.

Illustration 2: T.V. screen patch.

Htadsai! inspection is a similar process: examine comers, edges, and body of the sail for broken stitches, chafe, or tears and go over hardware (hanks, grommets or nn^) for wear. In both cases, once problems are determined, repairs and/or reinforcements may be made. Now that we've covered assessing the condition of the sail, let's take a look at dealing with the weaknesses we've uncovered.

Holes in the body of the sail may be repaired using the "TV screen" patch.

Broken stitches can be repaired with dacron twine or thread either by hand or using a zigzag machine. The best, although not the fastest or most practical, method is to follow the old needle holes. The proper handsewing stitch will be discussed in another installment of "Confession»,'' but it's shown in the handsewn T.V. screen" patch illustration (see illus. 2). V-69 dacron thread with a 110 needle or V-346 or 3-ply dacron waxed twine with a #16 or #18 needle are appropriate for restitching. with machine or by hand respectively. Begin by sewing on top of 2-3" of the remaining

"good" stitches. Continue over the broken stitches and finish 2-3" into the "good" stitches on the other side of the worn area.

Holes in the body of the sail may be repaired using the 'T.V. screen" patch. Measure the six of the hole or tear and cut out a piece of dacron of the same weight as the sail. The patch should be square or rectangular in shape and 1-1 1/2" larger than the hole or tear on all four sides. Tne larger the hole, the more important* V becomes that the weave of the patch line up with the weave of the sailcloth underneath it. In this case, youU want to match the "grain" of the patch with the sail before cutting the patch to size. It's best to cut dacron with a "hot" gun or knife which both cuts and seals at once, preventing cloth from unraveling at its raw edges.

Once the patch is made and the sail is lying flat, hold the patch in place with pushpins and carefully draw around it. A sailmaker has two aids to sewing navigation — the "sew-to" line and "strike-ups." The sew-to line is the one that the patch will be sewn along — the one drawn around the patch while it is pushpinned in place. Strike-up* are short marks (1/4-1/2") made perpendicular to the sew-to line to ensure that the patch is sewn in evenly. By matching the strike-ups as one sews along the sew-co line it's assured that the patch will be stitched in the desired location. But, we're a little ahead of ourselves.

Once sew-to lines and strike-ups are drawn around the patch, remove the pushpins and patch from the sail. Neatly cut (preferably with a hot gun or hot knife) a rectangular or square hole 1-1 1/2" inside and parallel to the sew-to line. The patch can be sewn to the sail by machine or hand. When this is complete, the sail is sewn to the patch (see illus. 2). The result is a neat patch resembling a T.V. screen. I've often wondered what sailmakers pre-1940's called this type of repair. By the way, the rule about repairing holes is: if you can't stick a pencil through it, don't fix it.

If ultraviolet rot is the cause of holes or tears, you'd better order a new sail.

If a seam has come apart, use pushpins to align panels as closely as possible to their original position. Draw a sew-to line and strike-ups (you can use the original ones it they're still visible) and stitch the seam back together by hand or machine.

Chafe is usually the culprit in the above cases of broken stitches, tears, or opened seams — so find the cause of it. Use rigging

How to fix a deteriorated head sail?

Inspect the sail thoroughly for any rips, tears, or holes. If you find any, you will need to patch them with a sail repair kit or a professional sailmaker. If the sail is severely deteriorated, you may need to replace it. Consider the cost and benefits of replacement compared to repairing the sail. If the sail is not severely deteriorated, you can try to clean the sail by washing it with mild soap and water. Rinse the sail thoroughly and allow it to dry. Once the sail is dry, inspect it for signs of UV damage. If the sail has been exposed to the sun for an extended period of time, it may have faded or yellowed. If this is the case, you can use UV protection sprays to help slow the degradation of the sail. If you decide to repair the sail instead of replacing it, use a needle and thread to stitch repairs to the sail. Make sure to use a strong thread that is the same color as the sail material. If you are still having difficulty keeping your sail in good condition, consider using a sail cover when not in use to help protect it from UV damage and dirt.

Sailboat Deck Repair Guide...

Sailboat deck repair guide.

A sailboat is only as good as two things: the people sailing it, and the materials keeping it afloat. And though you may be an expert navigator and sailor, sometimes, the latter can disappoint you. That’s when it’s time to dust off the work gloves and consider handling some light repairs yourself. But how can you do a sailboat deck repair your own—and is it worth the extra time and labor? Here are a few tips for handling your sailboat deck and keeping it in tip-top shape.

Know Your Sailboat Deck—And How to Repair It

It starts with a basic understanding of your sailboat deck. According to Sail Magazine , many “decks are cored with end-grain balsa or plywood with a fiberglass laminate on each side.” If this is the case for you, you might notice that moisture can work its way into the core of the deck, which tends to rot the quality of the wood over time.

When the plywood core of the deck goes bad, it will generally be better to replace this plywood rather than work around the issues. However, try to get a second opinion before you start tearing out old decking. For example, you might be able to use:

Liquid LifeSeal® Sealant 5.2 fl. oz. Clear

Stainless Steel Cleaner 16 fl. oz.

Step-by-Step Deck Core Repair

Last month we looked at the effectiveness of injecting resin to repair damaged core sections (see “ Can Glue Injection Fix Rotten Core ,” PS July 2018. This month we’ll review the more robust repair option—replacing the bad core.

The factory skimped on resin when laying up the internal skin of the anchor locker hatch on our Corsair F-24 test boat. The goal was to save weight, but the result was hundreds of pinholes, which over the course of thousands of warming and cooling cycles, sucked in a substantial volume of humid anchor locker air. The core became damp, bacteria moved in, and the balsa decayed to the consistency of garden mulch. Small wonder the hatch bent noticeably under foot.

Fortunately, the skins had not yet cracked. The other positive was that the hatch could be taken home for renovation, and that makes any job easier.

When repairing deck core, work can proceed from either the interior side or exterior side. Working from the exterior means your repair will need to match surrounding skin, whereas interior work is usually hidden from view.

For deck repairs, working from the outside means that gravity is on your side. The old core doesn’t land on your face as you remove it, and bonding in new core material is straightforward.

Working from the inside requires removing interior liners and modifying your laminating technique. Larger jobs tend to favor working from above, while small jobs go faster from inside. It all depends on geometry. In our case, we just flipped the cover over.

We cut away the skin using delicate, shallow cuts with an angle grinder. A vibrating multi-tool with a carbide blade is handy for small areas. The skin was then peeled back using a dry wall knife and a pair of pliers.

If it is undamaged and you are working from the top side, save this for later reinstallation. It will preserve the non-skid pattern and smooth curvature in the corners. Even when you are careful, thin skins are often destroyed during removal process, which means you’ll have to laminate a new one—something to consider when deciding which side to work from.

Whichever method you choose, be sure to wear gloves while laminating. Change the gloves every 10 minutes or whenever they begin to get sticky; if glass fibers are sticking to your fingers, you need new gloves. Likewise, have a stack of disposable brushes and polyethylene spreaders available.

Cleaning Out Old Core

Some of the old core will fall out, bringing comfort that you are doing the right thing. Some will come out with a scraper. We’ve found a wire cup brush, in either a cordless drill or angle grinder, makes fast work, with less risk of cutting into the second skin than with vigorous use of a scraper or chisel.

You don’t need to remove undamaged core; when it gets really difficult to remove, you’re probably done. We left some core, after determining that it was like new and that we couldn’t remove it without damaging the skin. Allow the panel to dry.

1. A cutting wheel was used to trim the outer laminate to access the core.

Bonding New Core

You can use either polyester or epoxy resin (see Inside PS blog post “ Epoxy Versus Polyester Resin ”). If you’ve worked with neither before, practice on some sample laminates.

Some sections could be solid glass instead of core. Lay those areas up with cloth or possibly Coosa Bluewater 26 (see “ The Multipurpose Core ,” PS February 2020). For cored areas, coat the sections of replacement core with resin thickened with colloidal silica to a peanut butter consistency. Press into place with a grooved laminating roller.

Use lightweight cores for overhead panels. Plywood is not recommended. Marine core is typically scored with kerfs and attached to a scrim backing so that it can follow curves. If the curve is concave, the kerfs will open the blind side, so be certain to apply enough thickened resin to fill these kerfs as they open.

There is no reason to apply core in large sections, since it is scored anyway. Small sections, generally not much bigger than 6 inches square, are easier to manipulate. Cut smaller pieces to fill the larger gaps, and then spread thickened resin over the entire area using a flexible spatula, forcing it into the remaining hair line cracks. Allow to cure.

Use 60-80 grit on an orbital sander (or a disk grinder with a very light touch) to sand the new core smooth. Even if you matched the original core thickness, there will be irregularities resulting from bumps of old resin and angles from the core.

Laminate a replacement skin, matching the original schedule. Several layers of 17-ounce biaxial cloth with ¾-ounce mat attached (1708), followed by a single layer of 6-ounce finish cloth is common on cruising boats. Smaller boats may use only a few layers of 6-ounce finish cloth. Bevel the core edges to a 10:1 taper.

From the Inside

If you are working from the inside on an overhead panel, lay the cloth on a plastic disposable work surface and pre-saturate the fiberglass cloth, using a squeegee and roller, before placing on the ceiling. Some like to do this on a bench outside the boat and carry the sections in on waxed paper.

Don’t attempt to saturate the cloth directly on the surface; the resin will drip all over you and the glass will keep falling off.

Rub the pre-wetted laminate down firmly with gloved hands and a roller until it begins to cure. If applying more than a few layers overhead, allow the initial layers to gel. This prevents the whole mess from falling off in a sticky pile. Allow to cure.

Use vinegar to wipe surrounding areas that were not covered with drop cloths, being careful not to get any on the bond areas.

From the Outside

If you are reusing the old deck skin, carefully grind the core to fit the original skin, test fitting frequently. You will add thickened resin to bond and fill low areas, but there can’t be any high spots and it is best if the fit is very close.

Unlike a new skin, you won’t be able to roll it in for a perfect bond. This is why we dislike this method other than for very small sections. Press the skin in place, weight it down it with sand bags, and hope for the best.

Finishing and Cleanup

If you are working from the inside, all that remains is to grind it reasonably smooth and replace the liner or paint to match. If you worked from the outside, bevel the joints 10:1 with a hand grinder, add fiberglass tape to match the original thickness, and finish with gel coat or paint.

Clean your tools with vinegar. As long as the cure is not too far alone, vinegar stops the chemical reaction and eliminates the stickiness, allowing clean-up with soap, water, and a brush.

Onyx yacht painting, onyx yacht painting ____________________.

Protecting your investment in your yacht is a necessary part of owning a luxury vessel. Harsh saltwater conditions require a regular painting and coating treatment to keep your boat sailing on clear waters.

Painting/Maintenance options for your vessel include:

Marine Paint (single or two-part)
Gel Coating, Ceramic Coating, Bottom Painting, Varnishing and Carpentry

Prop Speed Painting

Painting and Coating will breathe new life into your vessel. It will prevent damage to the hull and arrest the growth of marine organisms that attach to fiberglass and metal. Barnacles, algae, seaweed and other marine organisms accumulate on hulls and eventually lead to surface drag, lower performance, decreased speeds, higher fuel costs and even damage to propellors and other underwater mechanics.

Our painting and coating solutions include modified epoxies, ablative, thin-film, soft and vinyl. Here is a rundown on the most popular options:

Marine Painting

When determining what paint/coating system is best for your vessel, the decision will come down to three elements: time, level of finish, and budget.

Traditional one-part paint (alkyd enamel) applies right from the dispenser and evaporates quickly. It has good weatherproofing qualities, and the base can be modified for gloss, hardness, or longevity by using various additives.

The two-part polyurethanes are formed by mixing components. That mix triggers a chemical reaction that forms the cure surface. When comparing the two processes, the two-part product dries quicker and offers a higher level of finish, a shinier gloss, color retention, hardness, longevity, chemical and abrasion resistance, and overall compound integrity. Consequently, the two-part process costs more and requires more time and labor.

Gelcoat Painting

A gel coat treatment is resin-based on often used on newly manufactured boats. Once applied, it dries into a hard, shell-like casing. Gel coating is designed to be UV protective and resistant to harsh chemicals. Since yacht hulls are often exposed to chemical vapors, this protection proves invaluable. A gel coat finish is durable and, when properly maintained, can last for decades without major repairs.

Ceramic Coating

Marine-grade ceramic coating is highly resistant to wear, scratching, and hull damage. The ceramic layer of protection protects paint and fiberglass. Ceramic coating protects at the molecular level with a comprehensive seal. Contaminants do not penetrate the surface, and any residue can be removed with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Bottom Painting

The bottom of a vessel, usually submerged in saltwater, is vulnerable to sea organisms, including acorn barnacles, zebra mussels, and microscopic bacteria that can cause hull drag, higher fuel costs and repair costs associated with the hull drag.

The correct yacht bottom painting treatment increases the longevity and performance of the vessel. The key ingredients in antifouling bottom paints include copper, biocides, algaecides, Teflon, vinyl, and proprietary two-part bottom coatings that create a hard, slippery biofilm that prevents organisms from attaching the hull.

One of the best ways to keep your props and other underwater metal in working order is by protecting them. One of the best ways is a professional application of Propspeed.

Propspeed uses a super slick “foul release” film that is safe for marine life. It is meant to last at least a year and keep running gear and any other underwater metals free of marine growth and protected against corrosion.

Vessels that sit in the water for extended periods have the greatest need for this type of protection. Our expert technicians can provide a professional application to protect your underwater metal.

Varnishing & Carpentry

Varnish Restoration

Onyx Yacht Detailing & Maintenance ____________________

Onyx yacht detailing & maintenance.

Much a luxury car, your yacht boat needs regular detailing and maintenance work to keep it sparkling on the seas and humming along the waves. Detailing and maintenance include exterior boat detailing, washing, boat waxing, buffing, polishing, interior detailing, and monthly systems check.

Buffing & Waxing vs Polishing

There is an ongoing debate on buffing and waxing your yacht versus polishing it. Though similar, the processes are different. In the trade, professionals use polishing compounds, manual polishing, and rotary machines to buff out scratches. Most craftsmen use powerful buffing and polishing tools to remove blemishes, scuffs, oxidation, and other imperfections. Waxing usually follows the buffing process. Polishing a vessel restores the “good as new” finish. Using a high-gloss polish delivers a brilliant shine.

Additional Options

Other options include wet sanding and high-speed buffing to give your vessel a showroom look and erase oxidation stains and minor scratches on fiberglass and Gelcoat surfaces. While we are making the vessel’s exterior shine, we also inspect the vessel from top to bottom.

Monthly Packages

Onyx offers three monthly packages, in addition to our one-time services:

STAINLESS CLEANING PACKAGE

This package offers Exterior Cleaning & Detailing services once every two weeks as well as weekly Cabin Cleaning & Detailing services.

ARCH INSTALLATION TIPS

Measure where you think The arch feet are going to land on the back of the boat, pick either the front or back leg landing positions and measure the span. Check for backing plate/nut access at these positions.
Assemble the arch laying on dock and slide the sides into the bridge evenly until the leg span you measured is Approx 5-6” wider than your goal span. Tape the joints at the bridge using masking tape to stop it sliding further in when you are test fitting.
Measure the “drop” from where you think the forward legs will land and the aft legs will land and trim the forward legs. Accordingly. I usually leave them a couple inches longer than I think they need to be, and do the final trim once I’m at the mocking up stage.
Assemble the arch feet and install them, using string to secure them to the arch legs using a rolling hitch.
Use a block and tackle or a truckers hitch to squeeze the legs together to match the span you are aiming for. No more than 6”.
Hoist arch into position using topping lift or main halyard (and two people) and test fit. At this point you can measure exactly how much you need to trim off the forward legs to make the arch fit level.
If the arch needs to sit lower, once you have it level, you can trim both legs the same amount. Keep in mind that as the arch gets shorter the span will narrow slightly due to the geometry of the arch.
Once you like the position, mark the feet in their positions using sharpie and lower the arch back to the dock. Release the block and tackle and drill/bolt the bridge. Drill and epoxy/bolt the feet into position.
Hoist the arch again and check all landing positions on feet one final time. Mark bolt holes on gelcoat and move arch out of the way for drilling. Try to pick the forward or aft feet and do them in pairs, pick whichever set you think will allow you to bolt it down securely then pivot the arch back or forward to do the other pair after (check orientation of arch feet for pivot ability).
Through bolt all feet and tighten. If fitting to an uneven surface, back fill the area behind the plate with thickened epoxy.
Tighten all bolts on foot bases.

8/21/2023 UPDATE – If a hurricane system becomes a named storm and your boat is in one of our wet slips you MUST move it back to its original berth. The boat is not allowed to stay. The owner is responsible for planning with their preferred captain, or The Yacht Rigger has two captains on staff.

1. Fees: The Yacht Rigger and Salt Creek Marina reserves the right to change its rates upon one (1) months’ notice.

Monohull DIY Dry Storage will be $900 monthly or $225 weekly, with a minimum of 1 week required. After the first 4 weeks, the rate will increase by $50 per week, for the remainder of the boat’s duration.
Monohull Wet Slip will be $1,100 monthly or $275 weekly, with a minimum fee of $100.
Catamaran Wet Slip will be $2200 monthly or $550 weekly.
Haul / Block / Relaunch – One Time Charge $12 per foot
Emergency Haulout – $25 per foot
Short Haul – – – Special Haul to be scheduled by The Yacht Rigger or approved contractor only + $175 contractor fee (includes normal haul out rate)

2. Insurance: Vessel owners must provide insurance with Salt Creek listed as additional insurer on their vessel before arrival. Vessels must always be insured.

3. Hurricane & Summer Storm Season: June 1 – November 30 Haul out boats for storage or DIY work on the hard during this time are required to remove all canvas (including but not limited to Bimini, sail covers, dodgers, e.g.) as well as all sails on the boom or furlers. Remove all moveable equipment: canvas, sails, dinghies from davits, cushions, water toys, grills, biminis, roller furling sails, etc. Canvas and sails must be stored below and not on deck. Lash down everything you cannot remove tillers, wheels, booms.

4. Live Aboard – Wet Slip Only (Yacht Rigger Only Rule): Starting January 1st, 2024, customers may NOT stay on their vessel during electrical refit work or other major modifications or upgrades down below. Due to the nature of these projects requiring major upheaval down below within your living space and the need for our teams to work efficiently. Rigging and “above deck” type work will permit liveaboards. As much as we would love to accommodate liveaboards during this time, it is simply too inefficient for us and expensive for you, the customer. For vessels with excessive items on board preventing efficient work, we will provide on-site storage pods at market rates.

5. Third Party Warranties: This includes any warranty claim that is to be made against the original manufacturer or seller of the vessel or product. Should a warranty claim arise, The Yacht Rigger will estimate the job accordingly. It will then be up to the customer to obtain approval from the applicable 3rd party (boat manufacturer, spar manufacturer, etc.). If approved & immediately upon completion of the warranty issues, the customer is solely responsible for the payment of the work completed. It is then the responsibility of the customer to be reimbursed by the applicable 3rd party.

6. Yard Hours: The boatyard hours are 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday- Sunday. The boatyard gate locks at 6:00pm. You may come check on your vessel, re-secure rigging, canvas and pump out water during business hours. Please check in with the office if you are near closing hours.

7. Utilities: Boatyard provides power & water to vessel owners as a part of their agreement so long as the owner fully adheres to all Rules and Regulations. When you are finished with the water hoses, turn them off and place them back neatly in the area you found them. Please ask a Salt Creek Marina Boatyard Employee for access to either option.

8. Outside Contractors/ Subcontractors With Management approval (determined individually) contractors may work on a storage vessel for a fee of $40 a day in addition to monthly storage/dockage fee. The owner shall be responsible for informing the office of any subcontractor working on the vessel for any purpose whatsoever. The subcontractor shall submit insurance before any work can commence. Salt Creek Marina and/or The Yacht Rigger reserves the right at its sole discretion to stop unsafe work practices and if deemed necessary to order the offending worker(s) to leave the site at the Owner’s/Skipper’s sole risk and expense.

9. Supplies: All paint including but not limited to, bottom paint, primer or barrier paint, haul or topside paint, varnish or otherwise any paint being applied to your vessel must be purchased through the Boatyard or approved by Management. This policy is for safety and environmental protection purposes of all persons operating in the Boatyard. Paint will normally arrive within 24hrs of purchase.

10. Paint Spraying: There shall be no spraying in the Boatyard under any condition. Any person spraying any paint will be immediately expelled and fines levied.

11. Cleanliness: All vessel owners shall be responsible for keeping their area clean and professional. The Boatyard reserves the right to charge the vessel owner for any cleanup required to comply with RR. All debris associated with boat repair activities must be disposed of daily. A dumpster is located near the parking area.

12. Disposal: There is a designed disposal station of 55 gal drums for oil and one for oily rags and filters located near the office door. PLEASE DO NOT PUT GASOLINE IN THESE DRUMS.

13. Facilities: Bathrooms are provided as a courtesy to all Customers. We will make our best efforts to keep it clean but reserve the right to limit access any time. Please use the outside sink for heavy clean up and use the indoor head/sink for bathroom purposes only. The Yacht Rigger has its own set of facilities to be used by its staff and customers. Please do not use SCM facilities.

14. Parking: Park in the designated parking area. Vehicles should be parked clear of travel lift path, not in storage areas, on the seawall or blocking boats. Salt Creek Marina and/or The Yacht Rigger is not responsible for vehicles that are damaged by equipment or conditions in the yard

15. Regarding noise outside of the scope of work not being completed, i.e., radio/stereo volume, please be respectful of neighboring boat owners’ tenants.

16. Salt Creek Marina and/or The Yacht Rigger is not responsible for any theft or loss of items left on or around the vessel.

17. The yard takes no responsibility for accidents, injury, or death to any persons in or working within the yard at any time. All people wishing to enter the boatyard for any reason do so at their own risk.

18. Failure to comply with these rules and conditions can result in additional charges if Salt Creek Marina and/or The Yacht Rigger personnel are required to do site cleanup operations and/or will be asked to remove your boat from the marina.

19. Additional Rules:

We can repair almost anything! From minor repairs to extensive damages, regardless of the brand, Hallett Canvas & Sails will provide repair services that will not only complete the specific repair but will also carefully examine the entire sail or canvas item to ensure quality product before completion. As long as the material in the sail or canvas product is not rotten or unserviceable, we can repair it. For prompt service at reasonable rates, bring your sail in on a Monday with repairs done by the following Friday, just in time for the weekend, even in the busy season!

Winter Service

At our 5000sq. ft. loft, we carefully wash, check, repair, evaluate and store your sails and canvas. In 2011 we added our specially designed wash tank which circulates the cleaning products among the sails and canvas to get a thorough cleaning. After the Canvas and sails soak, they are pulled or removed from the tank, lightly scrubbed, and rinsed. They are then dried, carefully wrapped and stored until your boat is ready for them. Our service has no hidden costs. For the low price we wash your sails or canvas, evaluate the sail or canvas condition, give you an hour of repair labor, and provide storage for the winter.

Sail Re-cuts

Often a sails shape is blown out and baggy, nevertheless the integrity of the cloth is still good. This is common among older Dacron sails. Dacron is great because it will last a long time but it will also eventually stretch over time. We can re-cut the shape of the sail to increase its performance and your ability to trim it properly. We can also re-cut sails that have never trimmed correctly, that were purchased from other lofts. Re-cutting is not just confined to sails. We also alter and correctly fit canvas that is baggy, or too tight.

Evaluations

We can give you a professional evaluation of your sails or canvas. This is standard with winter service to let you know how well your sails or canvas are holding together. This is a FREE service that we provide. We also do evaluations for insurance and brokerage deals.

Rigging Service

At Hallett Canvas & Sails we service many makes of Genoa Furling and Main Furling Units, Main Flaking Systems, Dutchman Systems, Lazy Jack Systems and Strong Tides Systems, just to name a few. We can come to you or you can come to us!

Hallett Canvas produces the very best cruising sails, racing sails, sailboat canvas, powerboat canvas, commercial canvas and sail rigging products in Maine.

Residents Outside Moscow Protest Power Outage, Demand Heating Amid Subzero Temperatures

Residents of a Moscow region town impacted by power outages have taken to the streets, demanding that local authorities restore heat to their homes as subzero temperatures grip the region, Russian media reported Friday.

At least 21,000 people had power knocked out in their homes on Thursday morning in the town of Podolsk when a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant, according to the Kommersant business daily.

The circumstances surrounding the incident at the plant in Podolsk, located some 50 kilometers south of Moscow, have not been disclosed.

The Telegram news channel Ostorozhno Moskva published a video of several local residents who gathered in the town's central square to demand the authorities restore their heating, as well as punish those responsible for the outage.

“The police arrived quickly to disrupt us. I wish they’d brought back heating as fast as they dispatched the cops,” the person recording the video could be heard saying.

A Change.org petition with identical demands was launched online, which, by Friday evening, was signed by nearly 2,000 people.

“Since more than 24 hours have passed, we ask to punish all those involved in this emergency,” the petition reads, naming Podolsk Mayor Grigory Artamonov and the heads of local utilities as the culprits.

Households in the Moscow region towns of Khimki, Balashikha, Solnechnogorsk, Lyubertsy and Elektrostal also experienced heating loss as a result of power outages, with temperatures in the area plummeting to minus 20 degrees Celsius, according to the investigative news website iStories.

The Podyom news outlet, without citing its sources, reported that prosecutors have launched an investigation into the outages.

… we have a small favor to ask.

As you may have heard, The Moscow Times, an independent news source for over 30 years, has been unjustly branded as a "foreign agent" by the Russian government. This blatant attempt to silence our voice is a direct assault on the integrity of journalism and the values we hold dear.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. Our commitment to providing accurate and unbiased reporting on Russia remains unshaken. But we need your help to continue our critical mission.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just 2. It's quick to set up, and you can be confident that you're making a significant impact every month by supporting open, independent journalism. Thank you.

24' eastward ho cruisers.

ARCHIVED: This is a previously listed vessel and is no longer offered for sale If you would like assistance locating a similar vessel, Click Here to locate a similar boat

Designed by Eldredge-McInnis and built by Portsmouth Yacht Co., the Eastward Ho is a compact yet roomy sloop designed for family cruising in comfort. She is a proven design which combines traditional elegance with practical accommodations. Nothing has been overlooked to satisfy both the sailor and the cruising enthusiast. Her generous headroom, two berths, full galley, and enclosed head are unique on a boat of this size. Her spacious cockpit affords seats long enough for an afternoon nap or additional overnight guests. Sailing or under power she is lively and responsive with a motion reminiscent of a much larger boat. Her ample beam and sufficient ballast make her very stiff without sacrificing valuable draft.

Attabuoy is in need of general cleaning inside and out and some cosmetic work. The keel will need some minor fiberglass work. The sails are like new. The engine turns over, but has not been operated for a number of years. Take a look and you will fall in love!

Sailboat Guide

Eastward HO 24

Eastward HO 24 is a 23 ′ 7 ″ / 7.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Walter McInnis and built by C. E. Ryder starting in 1975.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally designed for wood contruction. The hulls of the later, FG version were built by CE Ryder (USA) and finished by Portsmouth Yacht Co. Diesel power was available as an option.
