Soil
and salt left on sails are more than unsightly. They cause mildew,
stains, sour odors, and can permanently damage any sailcloth,
even Mylar and Kevlar. Hathaways provides sailors with the most
up to date sail cleaning services available - with methods that
effectively remove the salt, grime and soot. And now, Hathaways
offers the safest, most effective cleaning technology for today's
performance fabrics.
The
difference? Cleaning is designed for today's sail fabrics. There
is no abrasion or stress to harm the finish of Carbon, Kevlar,
Mylar, Spectra or Yarn Temper sails. Your sails are rolled around
a 32' long, large diameter cylinder throughout the full cleaning,
rinsing, drying process.
They
are never crushed or even folded! The facility is designed and
built to satisfy the requirements of cloth manufacturers, sailmakers
and discriminating owners. When the largest U.S. sailcloth manufacturer
needs to have sails cleaned, they send the sails to us.
Special Treatment for mildew, rust, grease and oil marks is
readily available. Custom drying racks and ample storage facilities
complete our exclusive sail wash service.
