When possible, fold and store below decks in between races, also to avoid unnecessary exposure to UV radiation. <br>\nBefore the first use, it\u2019s important to apply the supplied adhesive patches in areas subject to contact with the rigging (spreaders, pulpits, stanchions, hounds, etc.) to prevent chafing and damage. If damage occurs on a trip, a prompt temporary repair with the right adhesive Dacron cloth is highly advisable, to prevent further damage until the sail can be properly serviced. When stowing sails at the end of the racing day they should be rinsed with fresh water, dried, and the battens should be removed or at least their tension should be released.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28a401e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"28a401e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ca2807 elementor-position-inline-start elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"3ca2807\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#anchor-top\" class=\"elementor-icon\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Return to Top\">\n\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#anchor-top\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReturn to Top\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3287408 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-19034 elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3287408\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ef870 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"73ef870\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"anchor-2\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.

The best preventive measure is avoiding leaving sails damp in a closed space for a long period of time. Make sure they are completely dry when stowing them in their bags, and avoid storing them in tight spaces where air can\u2019t circulate. In case sails are left furled or folded on the boom, they should periodically be hoisted or unfurled to dry out, particularly after a rainy period. Mildew are pluricellular fungi which can form and proliferate on the surface of sailcloth, and penetrate woven \nmaterials. It\u2019s important to remove mildew as soon as you notice its formation, otherwise it can penetrate deeper and be even more difficult to get rid of. A sail with mildew will quickly contaminate others, so it should be isolated and treated as soon as possible.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49f7805 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"49f7805\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"116\" height=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onesails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mildew-product.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-22478\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">MILDEW REMOVAL PRODUCTS<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Mildew can be effectively removed using a 3% solution of sodium hypochlorite (also known as bleach) diluted with water, which can be sprayed or rubbed onto the sail using a soft sponge. <br> Always wear protective goggles and gloves for this operation. <br> Leave to act for five minutes, then rinse with plenty of fresh water and let dry.
