The restored Fjord Wing motorboat "Prinses Leya" is participating in the New Life for a Boat competition held at the Vene 26 Båt fair. The competition highlights boat recycling and restoration, and how an old boat can be returned to functional, safe, and beautiful condition with careful work and the right material choices.

Successful boat painting starts with repairs. This guide helps you ensure that fiberglass boat repairs are done correctly before painting: you'll identify the type of damage, choose a DIY solution or a professional, and get clear steps for both fiberglass boat crack repair (laminate patch) and fiberglass boat scratch repair (gelcoat patching). Included are the work order, leveling instructions, and primer choices – to ensure adhesion, watertightness, and surface durability. Finally, we'll guide you directly to the painting stage.

Poison paint is common parlance for antifouling paint containing biocides. In 2025, the choice will be made based on effectiveness, total cost, and sustainability – as well as Tukes' (Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency) significantly tightened conditions.

A wooden boat is more than just a means of transport – it's a piece of craftsmanship, a sculpture sailing the seas, living in harmony with its surroundings. Preserving and maintaining these unique boats requires careful attention, and one of the most important measures is varnishing. Boat varnish not only protects the wooden surface from the effects of weather, water, and UV radiation – it also enhances the natural beauty of the wood and gives it a deep, vibrant finish.

Painting the bottom of a boat can also be done as a DIY project, provided the work is done carefully with the right products and tools.

The painting should be carried out carefully and in the right conditions – in spring before launching or in autumn when dry-docking. Before painting, the bottom must be thoroughly cleaned, any old paint removed, and the surface lightly sanded.

A fiberglass boat is a timeless choice, exuding style and durability – like a floating work of art whose beauty requires careful maintenance. When boat fever takes over, or when the first dry days of spring arrive, painting the bottom of the boat may become a timely task on the to-do list. But how do you choose just the right paint that combines visual appeal and long-term protection?

The appearance of a boat is not just an aesthetic matter – it also affects the boat's lifespan, safety, and value. When a boat is cleaned and protected carefully, dirt, wear, and surface damage are prevented. Boat care products, washing, and waxing are thus an essential part of seasonal maintenance, especially in spring before launching and in autumn before storage.

Mold removers are an effective solution for mold problems in homes and outdoors. They remove mold spores, prevent new growth, and protect health and structures. The appropriate product is chosen according to the application and surface – for bathrooms, wood surfaces, or concrete. Safe use requires following instructions and using protective equipment.
