How to Prepare a Sailboat for a Haul out in South Africa- (Patrick Childress Sailing #39)

Sailboat Haul Out Tips and Preparations (Preps) for a major refit in Richards Bay, South Africa at the Zululand Yacht Club.(1 big Boat on 1 small Travel Lift- Patrick Childress Sailing #39)
Upon arrival in Richards Bay, South Africa, we prepare our blue water sailboat, SV Brick House for another boatyard haulout for boat Maintenance, sailboat upgrades, and of course new bottom paint. We will be doing lots of boat work and sailboat renovations here. Patrick Childress shows how he cleans the boat, tests the water for drinking, kills the invading ants before they infest our boat, and then gets us ready to re-fit the boat in to a travel lift that is a little too small to accommodate our rigging. We unattached the forestays to fit on the travel lift, and Patrick demonstrates the best way to do this without taking off the sails, or disassembling the entire profurl roller furling drum. Hauling a sailboat out of the water, even on a travel lift that is a bit too small doesn’t have to be chaotic or cause for concern, but there are a few things to get ready before hauling a boat out of the water for a long sailboat refit.

Here is the ant poison we have carried with us around the world that has worked 99.9% of the time with ants. I recommend carrying a big supply of it because it’s sometimes hard to find! https://amzn.to/2YL0FrL

Boat haul out rates for a boat short haul here is inexpensive compared to many places in the world. But there should be a checklist, what is needed, and the definition of a haul out facility near me. Whether a fiberglass boat or a wooden boat, all boats needs to be hauled out sooner or later. This doesn’t cover boat bottom painting prices, now how much does it cost to haul a boat, but it’s a good travel lift pre-haulout prepping video. How much to get a boat out of the water?
