How do you prepare for your boat haul out? What should you do before you haul your boat, and how can you be best prepared? We list the jobs that you should do before you get there in the first of our boatyard mini series…
We kick off with Jamie ranting in the car on a three hour drive to Kota Kinabalu and finish with some daft out-takes. But along the way we cover:
- Anti-foul
- Cleaning products tips
- Custom and specialist parts
- Timing lift-out
- What services the yard offers
- What facilities the yard has + rules, regulations, and what’s included in the fees?
- Payment – how do you pay the bills?
Then we show you our actual haul-out, from Med-mooring outside the yard to reaching the slip and hard-stand.

Peace and fair winds!
Liz and Jamie
