To make a long story short my white sails are now Georgia Clay Red and I dont know how to get it out. The only thing I have found to take the mud stains off the hull is Armor All wheel cleaner. Will bleach hurt the sail if I try that or any other suggestions. E-mail bonzi777@aol.com Thanks

I've heard from Salt Dog Marine that a mixture of Davis Sail Bath and Era does the trick for cleaning up sails. I tried it once on an old Hobie 16 sail, and it worked great. I can not imagine that using bleach on a sail would be a good idea, as it may reduce the strength of the threads and/or the sail cloth.

Fair winds,
