Key Steps in Preparing Your Yacht
Thorough Systems Check: Ensure all mechanical, electrical, and navigational systems are in top condition. Inspect the engine, generator, batteries, and other critical components.
Safety Equipment Audit: Verify that all safety gear is onboard, up-to-date, and in good working order. This includes liferafts, EPIRBs, flares, and fire extinguishers.
Hull and Rigging Inspection: Check the hull for damage or fouling, and inspect the rigging for wear and tear. Address any issues promptly.
Provisioning and Storage: Plan meals and stock up on non-perishable foods, fresh water, and other essentials. Ensure everything is stored securely to prevent damage during rough seas.
Route Planning and Weather Monitoring: Chart your course and have alternative routes ready. Stay informed about weather conditions to avoid surprises.
Documentation and Communication: Ensure all necessary documents are onboard, including insurance, licenses, and permits. Test communication equipment to ensure reliable contact at sea.
