Plan care around the boat

Work can be planned around the boat, the season and the owner’s use. Structure, paint and varnish, rig, deck, systems, joinery and the items identified during regular inspection can be addressed as a coherent programme.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE

Keep routine work deliberate

Maintenance can be scheduled around the boat and the sailing season so that necessary work is handled before it interrupts use.

FUTURE WORK

Identify larger jobs early

Larger jobs can be identified early, investigated properly and scheduled rather than becoming emergency repairs. The aim is to keep the boat reliable and available for the sailing the owner bought her to do.

LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP

Keep the project knowledge

For boats Brookes knows well, ongoing care also preserves project knowledge and makes later decisions easier because the history of the work is not lost between refits.
