The railing is made of acid-proof steel.
When lifting the boat do not use steel wires or shackles in direct contact with the acid-proof components.
Make sure no parts of the boat are scratched or damaged during transportation. If any damage occurs,
the railings and fittings should be polished and waxed carefully.
To keep the acid-proof parts of your boat shiny and new, clean and wax the parts at least twice per
season. At the end of the season, when the boat is being transferred for the winter, clean and wax the
railings to keep them in tip-top condition.
When handling teak, remember the following three principles:
- do not use strong solvents, only tall oil soap,
- do not spray teak surfaces with a pressure cleaner,
- if you clean teak by brushing, use only a soft brush, but do not brush along the seams.
Teak reacts with the acidity of the air and daylight and turns grey over time. Copper looks green for the
same reason. Under the oxidised green layer, the copper is intact. The same is true of teak. The
oxidised grey surface is only a couple of tenths of mm thick and conceals the actual teak surface, which
is still of excellent quality.
If need be, teak can be processed with oil. However, this is usually not necessary because teak itself
contains oil. If you do decide to use oil, use it sparingly otherwise the surfaces become slippery.
If there are stains on a teak surface, remove them manually by sanding gently. Use sandpaper with a
degree of coarseness of no more than 60. Sand along the grain of the wood.
