Laying up
- Take ashore all the ship's documents, any lines that are not used for
mooring, galley equipment, supplies, clothes, safety equipment,
batteries and gas bottles.
- Check the safety equipment, check expiration dates and have the
life-raft overhauled.
- Take advantage of the laying up to draw up a complete inventory of
equipment.

BLOCKING THE BOAT ASHORE
Preparation for each hull:
- A large rectangular wooden block of 1m in length and a tire to be
placed under the stern, across the keel.
- A steel jack-stand of a minimum of 1m in height which will be
placed under the forward part of the forward bulkhead.
Make sure that the aft part of the keel is well-chocked (on its block)
before very carefully lowering the forward section onto the jack-
stand.
Protection and maintenance

INTERIOR

vinegar (do not use a chlorine based product).
- Lubricate and close all the water inlet valves and thru-hull fittings.
Rinse and completely drain the heads bowls and pumps.
- Retract the sounder and speedometer sensors.
- Seal air inlets as much as possible.
- Install an air dehumidifier in the saloon and leave the cabin and
storage unit doors open (lockers, ice boxes).
- Air the cushions outside for as long as possible before returning
them to the boat, placing them upright on one side to limit contact
surfaces.
