16.1.4 Solid wood on exterior wooden panelling
- Wood exposed to harsh conditions, such as salty air and UV rays tends to become whiter
and to lose its natural colour. This phenomenon has no effect on the intrinsic qualities of the
wood, but can spoil its aesthetic appeal.
- To maintain the colour of the wood, regularly wash the woodwork in fresh water using a
sponge (if necessary, use a mild soap).
- It is recommended to oil the external woodwork regularly using teak oil to protect them from
the harsh conditions.
16.1.5 Exterior cushions
- Bring the removable cushions inside (washed with soapy water then dried) when the vessel
is unoccupied.
- Put canvas sheets/protective covering over the fixed upholstery.
