YoU MAY BE IN SHAPE...

The rain has stopped (we hope). The marinas
are.coming to life, yacht clubs are booming. You
decide to relax, have a bit of fun and do an ‘ocean-
crossing’ over the weekend. But you've let your

little yacht sit out there,

all winter and now, you

can "t remember if the bottom i is red or blue.

Before you yell, “Anchors
aweigh,” I suggest a shape
up time. And the first thing
which is called for is a haul-
out. If your boat fits onto a
standard trailer, you're in
luck. Even if you don’t own
one, renting one, -or. better
yet, finding a friend to lend
you theirs, isn’t much of a
problem. If you are skipper
of a slightly larger vessel, be
prepared to pay a tidy sum.

Many marinas provide
haul-out service and rates
vary according to travel-lift
and operators, but if you can
get away with under $250 for
in and out, and rent during
dry-dock, you can consider
yourself fortunate.

Now, I can think of better
ways to spend moncy, and
no doubt, sd can you. But
pulling her out and doing
some work now, can save
you Gme, moncy, and a lot
of headaches.

A friend of mine hasn't
scraped the marine growth
off his yawl’s bottom for
close to three years. Each
year Fred will have an ex-
cuse. Either its the weather,
his kid's birthday party, or a
sprained index finger He
suffers from the mentalhty
that what you don't know,

won't hurt you. His logic is
that if he doesn't see it, the
growth isn't there. But just
spending a day aboard the
boat, shows the seriousness
of the problem. She's dif-
ficult to steer, won't point,
and takes a long time coming
about. But most tragic, is the
effect on its performance -
there’s so much speed lost!
And power-boats are even
greater victims. With the
high price of fuel, running a
motor-yacht can be an
expensive hobby. Now add
to that, marine growth which
slows its speed and increases
gasoline consumption, the
cost is astronomical. So it
makes good sense to get
your boat out and clean your
bottoms.

Once she’s all clean and
dry, make a close inspection
of the hull. Blistering body-
filler should be sanded off
and redone. Suspicious
looking underwater fittings
“can be re-caulked with para
seal And now 1s the time to
decide whether your ship
could do with a coat of paint,

On Rhapsodia, my 58

year, I just brush out the few
bare spots. Therefore
examine your boat carefully.
It may be that a quart of
paint is all you need to get
her looking pretty again.

A word of caution. When
applying that smelly stuff
called anti-fouling paint
always wear protective
clothing. Cover your head
with a hat or scarf, and wear
an old pair of coveralls. Buy
some inexpensive dish-
washing gloves, and be
prepared:to throw out all the
clothing articles once you've
finished the job. emember,
anti-fouling is a poisonous
substance formulated to in-
hibit marine growth. Your
fellow yhachties may laugh
at you, but you'll have the
last laugh, when they see
their dermatologist bill.

Once you're back in
water, how does the wood-
work look? If its beginning
to look dull, a fresh coat of
oil will get it sharp again. If
you're using varnish prepare
yourself for scraping and
sanding. One of the reasons I
prefer oil! If dark blotches
have appeared, you'll have
to scratch them out - till you
hit good wood.

And now your boat looks
absolutely marvelous, and
you're all set to try your sea
legs. But wait. Have you
cleaned your battery ter.
minals? Added water where
to was low? How about the
clectric panel? Any signs of

ut what about your boat?

corrosion? Loose

nections?

And what of the engine?
Unlike relatives, thumping
sounds do not go away when
they are ignored. So call 4
mechanic and get a
diagnosis, before
surgery is required, i.e.: new
motor. Engines are temper-
mental beasts. If youre nice
to them, they'll treat you
good. So be kind to it. Fresh
spark-plugs, an oil change, a
new oil filter, and it'll be
purring, instead of growling!
