A typical winter yard around Vliho Bay processes haul-outs for 40 charter hulls, with each yacht generating safety gear consignments including 50kg life rafts, boxed EPIRBs and stacks of fire extinguishers that must be certified offsite before relaunch. Turnaround logistics demand scheduled crane slots, certified contractors for safety checks, and a strict inventory flow so yachts return to service in spring without surprises.

Winter Haul-Out Logistics

Haul-out operations are coordinated to minimise congestion at slipways and maximise contractor productivity. Yachts are booked into sequential slots so riggers, engineers and transport teams can remove heavy items—life rafts, solar gantries and A/C units—safely and efficiently. The process includes documentation: each removed item is recorded, serial-numbered where applicable, and tracked through inspection and storage.

Safety Gear and Deck Preparations

Before lifting, every yacht is stripped of mandatory safety equipment for inspection. Typical steps include:

  • Remove and box EPIRBs, liferafts and fire extinguishers for contractor certification.
  • Dry and inspect sails; send for repair where stitching or laminate failures appear.
  • Rinse running rigging and lines to remove salt, lubricate winches and check shackle pins.
  • Air and clean cushions, mattresses and lockers to prevent mould and odour.

Engineering, Systems and the Dirty Work

Winter workshops focus on the systems that are easiest to neglect during summer. Teams routinely strip windlasses to components, change engine oil and filters, replace impellers, and test fuel systems. Exhaust elbows are inspected and cleaned, cooling systems flushed and refilled, and battery banks are load-tested; older AGM batteries are frequently replaced with upgraded lithium systems to support low-consumption A/C installations.

Grey and black water systems often require the most painstaking attention: holding tanks are flushed and scraped, toilet pumps and seals replaced, and drain lines cleared of calcification. These tasks prevent mid-season sanitary failures that would otherwise ruin guest comfort and harm a charter operator’s reputation.

Hull, Teak and Corrosion Control

High-pressure washing removes biofouling, while sacrificial anodes are examined for wear. Critical underwater fittings—keel bolts, rudder bearings and through-hulls—receive non-destructive inspection to confirm integrity. Teak decks are treated with selective acids, scrubbed and refreshed during winter; in spring, dedicated polish teams apply UV-resistant sealants to topsides to keep gelcoat bright for charter photos and guest expectations.

Planned Upgrades and Owner Projects

Winter provides the opportunity for upgrades that would disrupt the charter calendar if scheduled in season. Common projects include bespoke gantries with integrated solar arrays, reinforced bow rollers to fit Rocna anchors, installation of bow thrusters, and the addition of silent, eco-friendly solar-battery ikuku ọkọn̄ systems that prove popular with charter clients.

  • Major installations: A/C, lithium battery banks, bow thrusters.
  • Custom fabrications: outboard cranes, gantries and modified deck hardware.
  • Cosmetic and comfort upgrades: cushions, galley appliances, and electronics refresh.

Team Continuity and Owner Relations

Permanent yard staff who know each yacht’s history are indispensable. Engineers familiar with recurring quirks and cleaners who know trouble spots reduce downtime. Clear communication between managers and owners keeps planned upgrades transparent and prevents surprises when the charter season recommences.
