We call these pretenders, 'slip Queens'. They load up their boat with all
kinds of uneeded electronic gear, brag about owning the latest & greatest
'stuff', spend more time cleaning and polishing than sailing. Some do
nothing more then an occasional daysail just to show off their toys.

sailing them.

I'm sure you call them "queens." Wishful thinking on your part.

I washed my sailcover on a gentle cycle with regular laun soap. I then dried
on a gentle cycle and applied two coats of waterproofing that I got in the
camping dept at Wal-Mart. Worked great!

I have new sunbrella sailcover and pedestal covers for the C&C 32. Can
they be
machine washed or should I just rinse them off and dry?
This may be common knowledge, like grey water, but please answer anyway so
I
can be a better sailor!

Thanks,

Capt RB
