Dec 19, 2022Teak is something that elevates a boat into something special, so it's essential to keep it looking its best. Doing so is easy with Iosso Teak Cleaner. In one simple step, it takes dull, lifeless wood and transforms it, restoring its natural honey-golden glow.
With exposure to rain and UV rays, teak naturally weathers to a greyish color. While some prefer this look, the accompanying dirt, algae, mold and mildew can make the wood appear grimy and unappealing. Iosso Teak Cleaner is a unique biodegradable formula that doesn't contain chlorine or bleach. Tough on stains, it cleans and brightens the wood without degrading the fibers and is safe to rinse overboard.
Unlike some back-breaking methods, Iosso Teak Cleaner is simple to use. The 16 oz. jar of concentrated powder will make four gallons of solution and can be apportioned if lesser quantities are needed. Brushed lightly onto the wood in the direction of the grain, the liquid is allowed to set for 15 minutes before rinsing. Sanding isn't needed. When dry, the teak can be stained or coated with a sealant such as Iosso Water Repellent.
Teak Cleaner is also ideal for synthetic decking, non-skid, vinyl, and marine fabrics and carpeting.

Monaco Energy Boats Could Be Heading to Canada
The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
