Preparing for the Season: Essential Maintenance Checks for South West Sailors.

The sun is coming out, and the sea is calling. But before you head out of Dartside Quay for your first trip, is your boat actually ready?

A little preventative maintenance now saves a lot of money (and embarrassment) later. Here is a quick checklist from the High Tide Marine team:

  1. Check your Anodes: Are they wasted away? If so, your metal hull parts are next.
  2. Skin Fitting Replacement: Check your seacocks. Do they open and close smoothly? If they are seized or corroded, they need replacing immediately.
  3. Hull Check: Look for antifoul condition or damage. Do you need a paint re-spray or just a touch-up?
  4. Valeting: A clean boat is easier to inspect. A general valeting clears the winter grime and lets you see what needs doing.

Too busy to check? We know life gets in the way. That’s why we offer mobile boat maintenance. We can visit your boat, run through the checks, and get her season-ready while you are at work.
