Relaunching in Montenegro: Summerizing Our Sailboat in the Mediterranean

Next week the sailing starts. But first...

The summer sailing season is almost here, and our boat has been out of the water for the winter. Before we left, we packed it down and took all the systems offline.

Now it's time to 'de-winterize the boat' by taking it out of storage mode and making sure everything is working nicely, ready for a safe and enjoyable sailing season.

These are the steps we took to check everything on the boat, prepare it for re-launch, and clean and protect it for the summer.

It's not fun (actually, it's a little bit fun), but it has to be done. If you're wondering how to prepare your boat for the season, follow along with us.
