Mike Thanks: I am checking into that. So far what I have been told is that any service in the area only collect the sails and then send them to the only place that cleans sails locally. It is a 8 hour round trip by car, so they use UPS. That runs the cost up. They charge $1.00+ per square foot plus shipping. I suspect it would run around $500 + to have my Genoa cleaned. But I am still checking. I guess that is the price to pay for living in the Salish Seas.

She is a 38-ft MKIII. I just took the Jib/Genoa down to replace on the running rigging. Now I want to CLEAN and store the sail for the winter. I believe it is 125% Genoa. Just not sure what material. It is neil pryde sail. The question is, what is the best way to clean such a large sail. I have read the solution should be a mild laundry detergent and fabric softener, Is this correct. I thought about putting a tarp in the back of my pickup bed and letting it soak overnight and then pulling it out by the head and scrubbing with a soft nylon brush on both sides as I go. I can take a couple of sawhorses and build a 4X8 work platform to scrub on. Rinsing and flaking it onto another tarp on the ground. Then hanging it in the garage to dry. Any thoughts. How do you all do it?
