[Paddlewise] Cleaning fibreglass kayaks

G'Day,

After paddling I've been rinsing kayaks first with sea water to get rid of
sand/mud then with fresh water (using a watering can, which saves water) to
get rid of salt. It makes sense to rinse metal parts with fresh water to
avoid corrosion but is there any reason to rinse fibreglass/gelcoat to
remove salt? We're on a water saving push at the moment over here.

All the best, PeterO (Australia)
