Sailboat Maintenance – How to Keep Your Yacht in Perfect Shape

A sailboat isn’t just a vessel – it’s a lifestyle. To keep it safe, fast, and beautiful, regular maintenance is key.

⚓ 1. Rigging and sails

Check wires, winches, and lines for wear. Wash sails and repair small tears early.

🧽 2. Hull and deck

Clean thoroughly, polish, and reapply antifouling before each season.

⚙️ 3. Engine

Change oil and filters, check belts, cooling, and batteries.

🧴 4. Wood and trim

Use teak oil or marine varnish to protect wooden details from sun and salt.

🌊 5. Winter storage

Keep the boat dry, ventilated, and covered with breathable material.

If you’d rather let your boat earn for you than spend time maintaining it, list it for rent on Ship O´Hoi – safe, simple, and hassle-free.

👉 Rent out your boat via Ship O´Hoi – earn income while others enjoy the sea.
