How tot clean the deck?

Hello Sigma (33) owners,


Since 3 years we are proud owners of a Sigma 33 MH.


Unfortunately we difficulties cleaning the deck. In our opinion these are waterspots / water stripes. See pictures below (click to expand).


We have tried several products and also a high pressure cleaner to clean the deck, but until now with no result.


Does anyone have good tips how to clean the deck?


Greetings from the Netherlands,

Hi Marc, You could try Dasty degreaser spray. You can buy it at Wibra in the Netherlands. I have good results with that cleaner. Also for the hull.


Best regards,


Erik van der Voorden (Dutch Sigma owner too)

Lift of the peak cabinet

Below some pictures of the lift of the peak cabinet I did. The reason was that got stuck with my hip under the old cabinet when sleeping there. Another reason was the wear and tear of the upholstery of the sides and ceiling.

Change Keel Bolts

Hi Sigma 33 enthusiasts, I considering to buy a Sigma 33. During the first look it turned out, that the keel bolts have been changed about 6 years ago, but not the two most forward once. Therefore I would like to place a question about changing these particular keel bolts (blow the head compartment). Has somebody a rough idea about the effort to change the forward two keel bolts? These two bolts in the head area are looking quite rusty.

Greetings Amalphi.

I have made a short video which matches the description below and can be found at https://youtube.com/shorts/Kate8fJYANk?si=DEW4_bJyX6uq8SQ1.


Hopefully pictures and video adds a bit more. I have not seen nor heard about any broken bolts. All the pictures I have seen, from people who have removed a bolt, has shown that they are good below the nut and washer; This good condition evidences the original high quality construction. My view is that the life limiting factor is not the state of the threads, but the state of the nuts and washers - all reliant on the condition of my bilge over many years!
