If you own a boat, sooner or later it's going to have to come out of the water for repairs or regular maintenance. Haulouts can be scary, but this book can help you prepare for a smooth and fast trip to the boatyard. The book covers topics such as:
Understanding boat lifts, marine ways, and cranes used for haulouts
Picking the boatyard to use
Selecting and managing vendors
The tasks you should think about while your boat is on the hard
How to select a bottom paint, prepare your hull, and apply it quickly
Haulouts aren't rocket science but they are unfamiliar to many boaters. This book talks about what to expect and how to prepare to get the most out of your time in the yard, and how to get your boat back in the water on time and without regrets!
