Airing
Regardless of the place where you store your yacht during winter (in a shed or
open air), good airing prevents corrosion, moldy spots and mildew. The low
humidity in clean winter weather dries the yacht out very well.
Rigging
During the winter storage, the rigging should also be inspected carefully. This
includes not only all running and standing rigging, but also the halyard sheaves
as well as the mast and the boom themselves. Small damages can be repaired
easily if the rigging is stored in a horizontal position.
Electric installation
Contacts must be free of corrosion and connected tightly. Please check all
connecting parts once a year. The batteries require special care. The
inscription “maintenance free” should not tempt you to leave the batteries
connected on board if id is freezing. Only a well charged battery, disconnected
from the mains, will guarantee a trouble-free operation in the next season.
Hose clips
All water-containing systems below the waterline are secured with double hose
clips. Check weather they are tightly fixed.
Tanks
Fuel tanks:
If there are any leftovers of diesel in the tank you should empty and air it.
Water tank:
Empty the fresh water tank completely and open it.
Wastewater (holding) tank and pipes/hoses:
Clean them with light cleaning agents and open them for airing. Opened tanks
and hoses should be covered with a cloth or gauze to prevent dirt from
entering and allow airing.

Coatings
You may contact your marina or the yard if you have any questions concerning
the coatings. It is preferable to rely on one producer and one of their systems.
