AFTER SAILING CHECKLIST
PAGE
14
When leaving your Hunter at the dock
for more than a short time, it is a good
idea to review the following checklist to
make sure everything is in order. This
will help protect the various parts of your
boat and add considerably to their
attractiveness and usable life.
Flake or furl mainsail and cover, or remove and bag.
Remove and stow all portable deck hardware such as snatch blocks, winch
handles, etc.
Secure the boom to the topping lifts and set it firmly amidships with the main
sheet purchase. (It is also a good idea to rig a line from the steering wheel or
tiller to a convenience cleat to keep the rudder from swinging back and forth
with the motion of the water or employ the wheel brake if so equipped.)
Attach the shackle ends of all halyards to convenient fittings and take up
slack. Find a location leading away from the mast to keep the halyard from
slapping the mast.
Coil and stow all lines in line lockers
Cover the winches and steering pedestal when leaving the boat for several
days or more
Close all fuel lines and seacocks
Switch off the electrical system
Pump out the bilge
Check air vents, secure ports and hatches, swab the deck, and clean deck
stainless, particularly if you have operated in saltwater.
Make a final check of mooring lines, chafing gear, fenders, etc.
