SHRINK-WRAPPING FOR INTERNATIONAL EXPORT

The Purpose of Using Shrink-wrap in the Marine Field:

1) To enclose boats for protection from the elements when they are stored outside during the season.

 

2) To protect new boats as they are transported from the builder to the dealer.

 

3) To enclose boats for international shipping.

 

4) Over the road boat transporting to reduce potential of dirt, grime, winter salted roads, and flying debris.

 
SHRINK-WRAP YOUR BOAT FOR TRANSPORTING?
 
Shrink wrap can protect the boat from road tar and dirt,

 
SHRINK-WRAPPING SAILBOATS
Please note that sailboats painted with Awlgrip® or Imron® should not be shrink-wrapped, unless the cover comes just below the gunwale and the perimeter band is separated from the hull by foam blocks.
 

SHRINK-WRAPPING FOR INTERNATIONAL EXPORT
 
Shrink wrap is recommended for international boat and trailer shipping. While it is not necessary, it is a good deterrent for break-ins and provides some base security.

SHRINK-WRAP YOUR BOAT FOR STORAGE?
 
What makes this material different than construction plastic sheeting?  Shrink-wrap contains shrinking resins, UV inhibitors, anti-brittling compounds, and strengtheners so that it will not rip or tear.   Shrink-wrap does not contain any flame retardant compounds.  It is possible for shrink-wrap to burn.
 
Tarps and canvas covers allow damaging Ultraviolet rays to penetrate through to your boat's fiberglass gel-coat surface causing chalking, bleaching wood surfaces and the fading of your boat's seats and interior. Tarps and canvas can also cause chafing because loose fitting covers tend to flap against your boat's surface from the wind so save those tarps and canvas for mooring covers. UVI is used for the protection from film deterioration and in combination with "Ethyl Vinyl Acetate" it contributes to the elasticity and puncture resistance of shrink-wrap.
 
Shrink-wrap provides a tight smooth form fitting, heat sealed surface secured around your boat which will prevent water from pooling and protect your boats gel-coat finish from chafing that occurs from boats covered by tarps and canvas.
 
It's no secret that boats left exposed to harsh weather like Florida's sun and rain will eventually deteriorate. Vandals, Birds, Insects and Rodents, Rain, Sun and Wind, Condensation, Mold, Mildew and Rust are stopped when your boat is shrink-wrapped for storage.  Shrink-wrapping keeps your boat in exactly the same condition as the day it was wrapped

MEASURING YOUR BOAT FOR TRANSPORT:

When requesting a quote to transport your boat, the dimensions are extremely important. Please follow these guidelines for measuring your boat accurately. 

 

OVERALL LENGTH:     Include bow pulpits, swim platforms, outboard motor brackets, outboard motors themselves (the length of the motors or out drives in the raised position). If on a trailer, include from the tip of the tongue to the end of the motor.

 

OVERALL HEIGHT:     The maximum height of many overpasses is 13 feet 6 inches. Many oversized yachts require wide-belly low-boy trailers in order for the keel to set down low.  Using these type trailers for tall yachts can sometimes be low enough to avoid using a pole car if the boat loaded is less than the state-by-state height restraint (the New England area has many low bridges and re-routes may be dictated by the Department of Transportation.  Boats with an overall height greater than 13.6’ loaded on the trailer require special handling and routing. It is critical to measure from the bottom of the keel to the highest non-removable part of the boat.

 

The draft (from the waterline to the bottom of the keel) + clearance (from the waterline to the highest part of the vessel) equal the total standing height.  Pending on your model, if the fly or command bridge may need to be removed.   It is important to measure the vessel without the bridge and also provide bridge dimensions to ensure appropriate transport space.  Remember measure twice – cut once!!!

 

The bridge should be placed somewhere suitable on the boat and make certain it is safely secured.  If it must be placed on the trailer, a frame should be prepared for it to rest upon. If your radar arch is removed, it should be secured against your boat. You might consider using carpet to protect areas where surfaces may "touch".

Electronics such as radios, Loran Systems, etc., should be shipped separately or securely stowed in your cabin, with all cabin doors, windows, and any other access, locked.
