After Sailing Checklist<br />
When leaving your <strong>Hunter</strong> at the dock for more than a short time, it is a good idea to review the following checklist to make sure<br />
everything is in order. This will help protect the various parts of your boat and add considerably to their attractiveness and usable<br />
life.<br />
____ Flake or furl mainsail and cover, or remove and bag.<br />
____ Remove and stow all portable deck hardware such as snatch blocks, winch handles, etc.<br />
____ Secure the boom to the topping lifts and set it firmly amidships with the main sheet purchase.<br />
(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 swinging<br />
back and forth with the motion of the water or employ the wheel brake if so equipped.)<br />
____ Attach the shackle ends of all halyards to convenient fittings and take up slack. Find a location leading away from the mast<br />
to keep the halyard from slapping the mast.<br />
____ Coil and stow all lines in line lockers<br />
____ Cover the winches and steering pedestal when leaving the boat for several days or more<br />
____ Close all fuel lines and seacocks<br />
____ Switch off the electrical system<br />
____ Pump out the bilge<br />
____ Check air vents, secure ports and hatches, swab the deck, and clean deck stainless, particularly if you have operated in salt<br />
water.<br />
