Washing Spinnakers

2/18/2020

Spinnakers also need to be washed regularly to remove built up salt and made sure they remain dry. As they are made from Nylon and not dacron, spinnakers cannot go through the  Vacuwash process, instead they spend a night in our purpose built spa, this removes all dirt and salt, but unfortunately mould, especially in the seams is there to stay.
Smaller spinnakers are easy to DIY, just hose them down and dry thoroughly after use, larger ones are a bit trickier. Pulling them up the rig at the dock is not a good option, probability of ripping on something is greatly increased and the cause of much laughter from the bar.
We wash plenty of spinnakers for all sorts of boats, from tiny 2 sqm Manly Juniors to  400 sqm TP 52's, just removing the salt makes the sails lighter and feel much better, and whatever your method of delivery is, Sock, furler, bag, shute, they will all perform better with just a simple fresh water wash. 
All spinnakers that we apply McLube sailkotePlus to are washed this way beforehand, unless new.
