For the past four summers we have taken Summer Wind out of the water and put her into dry storage for about 6 months. This gives us a chance to inspect the bottom and do any re-paint or repairs that we find needed.
When we pull her out of the water we remove all loose equipment and stow everything inside. We wash the boat exterior with Salt-Away and flush the engine and generator with a Salt-Away mixture. The watermaker is "pickled" and flushed per the manufacturer's instructions.
It takes us three or four days to prepare the boat for summer storage each year.
