#2 Protection From the Sun

If you decide to go out on the boat but are worried that long hours in the sun will be bad for your skin, marine textiles such as awnings will offer you the best protection. This way, you can enjoy long hours at sea without fearing the dangers of overexposure to the sun. In addition, these fabrics allow consistent airflow, allowing you to enjoy comfortable sailing!

Boats are not immune to the unexpected changes of the weather, which will, over time, take a toll on your vessel. You wouldn’t think of renting a boat with stains, but stains can cause mould and mildew to develop. But don’t panic! Fabrics can be cleaned with bleach without affecting their colour.
