Life lines

Do you grab onto the sea rail/life lines whilst on board? Mostly boaters grab them in a moment of instability. Glad they are there? I expect so!
The twisted strands of stainless steel act as support when moving around the boat. You can also clip onto them in rougher seas.
They certainly offer support when you most need it! But it's a tough role.
This list shows why:
- UV damage
- Salt Abrasion
- Being Grabbed
- Hiking Out
Actually the first two cause most damage. The times your away from the boat, spray and sunshine corrode. You could have someone wash them down daily with soapy water.
Or solve the issues by investing in nylon covers which are:
- Durable
- UV Resistant
- Offer Comfort When Hiking
The two main causes of wear can be avoided. You can check wear using a piece of cotton wool. Simply run the wool around the sea rail, looking for cotton teased from the ball. Where the cotton snags, is where you have weakness.
Always there when you most need
Replace that life line!
Better that than being the subject of a man overboard drill
So you've got your nylon covers, now, what about protecting them? After all they wont maintain their color in the sunshine and salt air either!
Your nylons need canvas upholstery care!
Here is what you can rely on from that care:
- Water Repellent
- Prevents leaks
- Provides a barrier against soiling and stains - even oil based!
- Combats mildew
- Protects against UV damage
It's easy to apply - simply spray over all your canvas and allow to dry. Leaving you peace of mind and longer lasting canvas and nylon covers!
