Cosmetic Care & Maintenance

These elements can cause serious damage if left unchecked.

The boat top and other canvas supplied on your Regal boat are

manufactured from top quality materials to provide you with years of

trouble free service. The following information on the care, cleaning

and proper storage of the fabrics and fasteners that make up your

marine canvas is being provided to help you maintain the appearance

and ease of operation.

Sunbrella is used on most Regal tops, aft curtains, camper enclosures,

bow tonneaus and cockpit covers. Sunbrella is a woven fabric made from

100% solution dyed acrylic ﬁ ber. It is color fast and will withstand long

term exposure to the sun (ultraviolet rays) without excessive fading.

Sunbrella is a woven fabric. Even though it is treated with water repel-

lency some “misting” through the fabric is typical. With new canvas,

the greatest potential for leakage is through the sewn seams. Because

Sunbrella and the long term thread used is synthetic, the holes created

by sewing will not swell up and seal when exposed to water as cotton

does. Usually the movement of the fabric in use will move the ﬁ bers

enough to seal the holes. You may apply Apseal or Uniseal to the seams

to speed up this process.

When the canvas is new, the ﬁ t will normally be tight. It is designed this

way because Sunbrella stretches as it ages, The initial tight ﬁ t allows

for a suitable ﬁ t for the life of the canvas. The Sunbrella ﬁ t will vary

slightly in the heat, cold, and rain.

Sunbrella Cleaning Instructions

Sunbrella should be cleaned regularly before substances such as dirt,

roof particles, etc., are allowed to accumulate on and become embedded

in the fabric. The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from

the boat. Simply brush off any loose dirt, hose down, and clean with a

mild solution of natural soap in lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly to

remove soap. DO NOT USE DETERGENTS! Allow to air dry.

For heavily soiled fabric, remove the top from the frame.
