HAUL-OUT AND RECOVERY PROCEDURES
Trusting that you had an enjoyable sail and you are ready to haul out
your MATILDA 20 onto your trailer, the procedures run in reverse
to our previous steps. We would like to emphasize the following
points:
1.
Store your sails, sheets and gear neatly.
2.
Before recovering boat onto trailer, raise keel up as far as
possible to clear the trailer. Do not forget to lower the keel again
once it is on the trailer to take the tension off the keel cable.
3.
Centre boat on trailer during recovery.
4.
Lower mast by unfastening forestay turnbuckle, and walking mast
back. You may want to leave the backstay and shrouds to their
chainplates as is while trailering. But make sure these rigging and
forestay are secured along the length of mast with shock cord ties or
lines.
5.
A good hosing of deck and especially under the waterline after
each major haul out keeps the boat looking sparkling clean.
