Mid season housekeeping tips
Keep the cabins clean:
- Main sail controls: ease boom vang, cunningham and outhauls before lower the mains
- Backstays: release backstays after use (Melges 24s release backstay toggles)
- Halyards: Secure on opposite side of the dock and ensure they are cleated
- J/80 battleflags: Ensure the halyard is not caught inside the forestay triangle
- After engine use: Close fuel valve and air valves to prevent leaning
- Furling lines: remove any extraneous knots in the line
- Tape – remove reference tape from the decks
Thank you for keeping the fleet in top shape
