Planning of work

From hauling in autumn to boat ready in the water again in spring

A boat that is well laid up in autumn is much easier to prepare for spring. Use this template as a fixed sequence instead of improvising each season.

§Upon lifting (autumn)

  • 01High-pressure wash the hull before bottom paint residues dry
  • 02Disassemble sails, canvas and tarpaulins for cleaning and storage
  • 03Drain water systems so frost doesn't burst pipes and pumps
  • 04Disassemble batteries for charging and dry, frost-free storage
  • 05Ensure correct support on sawhorses, including covering

§During winter

  • 01Before regular inspection of tarpaulin and support, especially after snowfall
  • 02Maintain tools and equipment not used in season
  • 03Plan shape, weight and length before cutting

§Preparation for launch (spring)
