Aunque el moho no se adhiere con facilidad al 3DL ni al 3Di, todavía supone una amenaza si guardamos nuestras velas húmedas. Una buena manera de evitarlo es rociar ambas caras de la vela con agua dulce y esperar a que se sequen totalmente antes de guardarlas. No olvides enjuagar también herrajes y cabos. En barcos de gran eslora, es conveniente izar o desenrollar las velas en puerto en días secos y con poca brisa para que se sequen al aire. Para minimizar el daño por UV, es recomendable evitar la luz directa del sol o las horas en las que éste calienta con mayor intensidad.
