After Sailing Checklist
When leaving your Hunter at the dock for more than a short time, it is a good idea to review the following checklist to make
sure everything is in order. This will help protect the various parts of your boat and add considerably to their attractiveness
and usable life.
____ Flake or furl mainsail and cover, or remove and bag.
____ Remove and stow all portable deck hardware such as snatch blocks, winch handles, etc.
____ Secure the boom to the topping lifts and set it fi rmly amidships with the main sheet purchase or remove rig comletely.
(It is also a good idea to rig a line from the steering wheel or tiller to a convenience cleat to keep the rudder from swing-
ing back and forth with the motion of the water or employ the wheel brake if so equipped.)
____ Attach the shackle ends of all halyards to convenient fi ttings and take up slack.
____ Coil and stow all lines.
