Shipyard Survival Getting the rust off, both literally and figuratively, is also usually a benefit of a hunkering down in a yard for a while. workers that have never left the dock but sure know what they’re doing when it comes to boats. And others, well, others you would just rather not have on the boat at all if you could help it. Especially for deck crew who are used to keeping things spotless and gleaming all the time, watching the filth accumulate from the various shipyard culprits and not being able to throw some soapy water around to get rid of it for extended periods can be quite unnerving. But, hopefully, the end result is a better looking boat and the ongoing battle of fending off dirt, dust, sparks, paint overspray, etc. is eventually won and worth the fight. Getting the rust off, both literally and figuratively, is also usually a benefit of a hunkering down in a yard for a while. Learning or re-learning some exterior skills, however tedious they may seem, is only going to help in the future when looking for that next job, or maybe if you’re lucky enough, maintaining your own boat one day. It’s always a good time to review some first-aid knowledge, and sprinkling some safety drills into the work week is good for everyone. It’s not uncommon to hear random 64 YACHT ESSENTIALS alarms coming from the boat next to you with the crew not looking genuinely alarmed. If they’re putting on the Gumby suits while dry-docked, let’s hope it’s a drill and that they don’t know something you don’t. So, whatever reasons bring us into the shipyards of the world and for however long, we might as well make the best of them. Some people love them, while others don’t look forward to them at all. But the ironic truth about boats being pulled out of the water is that it keeps a lot of other people afloat. From boat builders to dayworkers, the yard period plays a big role in the industry, and whether it’s for a week or a year, hopefully they make us appreciate being able to motor or sail the waters beyond them.
