Boating, when a few simple rules are followed, is one of the safest family activities there is. U.S. statistics show boating is twice as safe as biking, five times as safe as driving a car, and 24 times as safe as scuba diving. By practicing safe boating, you will provide a wonderful pastime for yourselves and give your children a love of the water that will last them a lifetime.

As with most things, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and daily washing with a mild soap and a little elbow grease, will go a long way towards keeping the non-skid deck looking ship shape and Bristol. By daily washing, I mean washing after each use or at least once a week, even if the boat has just been sitting.
In this article we will look at the several alternate methods of restoring and preserving teak on your boat or yacht in order to place you in a more informed position to decide on which method best suits your situation.
