With the COVID-19 restrictions gradually lifting in Australia as more people become inoculated from the virus, people are heading outdoors to a greater extent. This includes marinas where sail boats that have been tied up for months if not longer need serious attention for the safety of the sailors. Appropriate rust protection in Australia for ships, sailboats, and marine equipment is crucial for safety and to protect what has been unused for so long.

Sail Boat Keel Safety Bolt Corrosion

Before heading out to sea, you will need to examine the hull and keel of your sailboat. A visual inspection to ensure that rust, barnacles, and other issues are not compromising the keel or hull. Otherwise, you might have some serious issues out in the water.

Focusing on the most vulnerable parts of the boat, the bolts, they are the areas where rust can develop and spread. For the safety of all aboard the only way to ensure that all the bolts are still in good condition is to lower the keel and look.

The FRP hull is where bolts are most likely to corrode. This is because water can get trapped which prevents oxygen from reaching the bolts in this location. Over time, this makes the area most vulnerable to marine corrosion. You can conduct the inspection yourself or call in a professional, because the last thing you want when out on the open sea is to lose the keel.

Rust Protection in Australia

Applying the correct rust protection is vital to preventing the more expensive task of replacing compromised bolts. In Australia you should have your sailboat inspected at regular intervals even if you have not taken it out in a while. Unless the entire boat itself is being kept out of the water, you should apply genuine rust preventative products, methods and update regularly.

Regular Maintenance and Rust Proofing

Regular maintenance and rust proofing will prolong the life of the bolts. If the bolts in the FRP hull have been compromised by rust, then it is time to replace them. Replacing compromised bolts will incur an expense, but the price is far less to replace them now before they break away when you are out at sea.

Of course, this will depend on how easy it is to replace the bolts. On most sail boats, replacement is straightforward as the design allows the bolts to be removed. However, on older sail boats, especially those with keels made in other countries, removing, and replacing bolts may be quite difficult and expensive.

This is where a professional company that specializes in rust prevention and bolt replacement can come in handy. They can spot small issues before they become large problems, which means that they can replace the bolts that are compromised with far less expense compared to having your now keel-less boat being towed back to shore.

With marinas getting back to normal operations, effective rust protection begins with treating bolts in sail boats before oxidation becomes an issue. In the marine industry, boats and ships can be protected using the right rust preventative products. For sailboat owners in Australia, the safety of your passengers is most important. Checking out the condition of your craft thoroughly before setting sail may save your boat from being unnecessarily compromised.
