Essentials for taking care of your boat’s hull in winter

The year has energetically started at Varador l’Escala! With the arrival of 2025, it is time to start preparing to enjoy the season with your boat with all guarantees.

Although good maintenance requires taking care of the boat throughout the year, the colder months are ideal for taking it out of the water and leaving the hull as new.

The advantages of a clean and well-protected hull are clear:

• Take care of the durability of the boat’s structure.
• Prevent the incrustation of algae and small crustaceans.
• Optimize the performance of your boat.
• Contain fuel consumption.
• Be able to enjoy more and without the problems that usually appear when you most feel like going sailing.

At Varador l’Escala we help you with a complete Hull Treatment proposal that includes:

• Stripping the hull to remove old antifouling and avoid increasing the thickness of your hull.
• Two coats of antifouling: the protection you need to combat the appearance of algae and small crustaceans.

You can also trust us with:

• Pressure washing of the hull of your boat.
• Repair of bumps and damages in the fiberglass of the structure.
• Osmosis treatment.
• Anode inspection and replacement. Did you know that it is recommended to change them every year or if they are 70-80% oxidized?
