Before repairing any equipment, protecting it is already a way to extend its lifespan.

A well-maintained boat between seasons, properly winterized and carefully commissioned in spring, means more reliability and peace of mind.

At Sailhero, we work on board with method and experience to winterize your boat or get it ready for the upcoming sailing season.

Winterizing: Preparing the Boat for Long-Term Layup

Leaving a boat exposed to elements without proper protection invites silent damage: moisture, UV rays, wind, frost, mold, corrosion, material fatigue…

We help you to secure and preserve your vessel throughout its downtime—whether afloat or on land.

·         Our winterizing services may include:

·         Maintenance, and/or storage of sails, lines, covers, and electronics

·         Covering the boat

·         Visual inspection of standing rigging to list tasks to be performed during the off-season maintenance

·         Protection of exposed equipment (e.g., replacing ropes with messenger lines)

·         Organizing the safe storage of sensitive items on board or ashore

Contact us to schedule your winterization or recommissioning.

Commissioning: Start the Season with Confidence

Starting the season without proper checks can lead to being under-equipped—or worse, encountering issues right from the first sail.

We offer careful, technical recommissioning tailored to your sailing plans.

Our recommissioning services can include the following tasks :

·         Installing all items removed during winterization

·         Verifying all safety gear (life jackets, harnesses, beacons, flares, etc.)

·         Checking that essential equipment functions properly (mechanical excluded unless otherwise specified)

Onboard Intervention & Ongoing Support

We come aboard with a structured, documented approach.

Each intervention is carried out professionally and tailored to your boat, its condition, and your intended use.

Our mission: to extend the life of your equipment and let you spend more time sailing—not fixing.
