DAILY:

Wipe down your boat with a clean dry towel after every row If you regularly row in salt or brackish water, it is recommended to wash your boat with a non-abrasive cleaner or soap and rinse with fresh water.

Wipe down seat tracks and oarlocks with a clean, damp towel and make sure they stay clear of dirt, sand, and other particles.

Open hatches and plugs so that the airtight hull can breathe.

PERIODICALLY:

Make sure all the nuts and bolts are attached and tight. Spray racing sandals with an anti-fungal spray. Cleaning your boat with a non-abrasive cleaner will help maintain the look of your hull. Never use any products containing bleach on your boat.

YEARLY:

Applying a light coat of wax annually will keep your hull looking shiny and will make your boat easier to clean. Loosen and clean all nuts and bolts.

Maintain your oarlocks by cleaning and adding a thin coat of a corrosion control gel or spray such as Lanocote. If the plastic seats feel sticky, you can add a few drops of “3 in 1” oil to the axels of your seat.

Storing your boat indoors in a boathouse, garage, shed or under an overhang and out of direct sunlight is the best way to protect it from sun damage. If you have to store your boat outdoors, purchasing a cover will be the best bet. Bay Shells offers different cover options depending on your needs. Please see the product page.

If storing your boat on a rack, store your boat guts down (upside-down) and make sure your rack is level. Cover the rack with foam or rubber padding. If storing your boat on the bow or stern deck, be sure to use a foam cradle. The boat can rest comfortably along any part of the cockpit gunnel.

Our standard fully rigged hull weighs in at around 41 pounds.
