Salt, water and wind all challenge marine surfaces. To get the perfect lustre and shine of a gel coat surface you need to maintain your boat properly. A well-maintained gel coat surface is not only about looks, but you will also protect the yacht or boat from salt, filth, mould, and excessive moisture. The team on the stand will be hosting live demonstrations on how to properly maintain gel coats.  

Our signature yellow sunglasses are always a big hit at the boat show. If you see visitors walking around with a lovely pair of yellow sunnies you know they have spoken to Mirka!  

Fixing cracked surfaces will protect the boat from salt, filth, mould, and excessive moisture. The Mirka team at the Southampton Boat Show can demonstrate how to efficiently and effectively repair cracks in composite materials such as fibreglass.

Looking for a more efficient sanding process? You can pair the Mirka® LEROS-S with our abrasives such as Abranet, Abranet Ace, Abranet Ace HD, Abralon, and Mirlon Total, for unmatched results.

“This timescale completely changed for the better with the introduction of the Mirka® LEROS. The tool’s reach streamlined the entire job and brought it down to a few hours.” - Martin Hughes, Scottish Boatbuilding School (part of Scottish Maritime Museum)
