For Mattchem Products -
This package is ideal for vessels:

• Arriving in NZ after the rally
• Being left while the owners fly home
• Needing pre-departure prep or post-voyage TLC

Care box for island rally cruisers.

From what I’ve seen, once boats head out on longer trips, it becomes really difficult to keep them looking properly maintained — especially with salt build-up, limited wash access, and being away from marina facilities. So I’ve been putting together a simple onboard kit that helps owners stay on top of it while they’re out there.

The idea is a ready-to-go Island Rally Care Box, built around Matt Chem marine products.

The box I’ve priced out comes to $231 + shipping retail, but I’m doing a launch deal to bring it down to $150.15 + shipping for members. I’ve also set up a small 30% discount code so members can purchase any additional products they want directly off the website if they need refills or extras.

The current box includes:

• Top Metaux – metal polish and restorer
• Slicky – sail cleaner
• Simply Dish – onboard cleaning solution
• Simply Wash – marine-safe exterior wash
• Anti Rust Spray – corrosion protection for fittings
• Klinperl – concentrated wax cleaner to help maintain gloss and protection

The goal is to give cruisers something simple they can keep onboard so the boat still looks well maintained throughout the trip, not just at the start.
