[quote=JohnES][quote=catman42]grtting back to cleaning sails. Someone told me that a sail in good condition should have some 'crispness". In cleaning is there any chance of removinging the crisp?[/quote]
Yes, and no.. as it will depend on the fabric and the sizing... Sunlight can do more damage that anything else on the synthetics used these days.

You would be surprised how fast you can clean a sail the size of a Prindle 18 mainsail... Besides you need to get those arms in shape for sailing season.... right!!!

I can't speak to oxy-clean as I have never used it, but I would take the advice of those that have..<!-- editby --><em>Edited by JohnES on Jun 13, 2013 - 03:05 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
