Hauling Out Your Sailboat: A Cruiser’s Guide | Sailing Ep 339
February 19, 2023 by followtheboat | Language: EN Play Time: 00:14:40 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We’ve been hauling out our 33 year old sailboat, Esper, since 2004 (in south-east Asia since 2014) so we have plenty of experience. But with all that practice, and no matter how competent the yard, it’s always somewhat nerve-racking.
A sailboat is supposed to be in the water, isn’t it? And once you put it on land all kinds of stresses and loads appear that weren’t there when she was floating. Hauling out is particularly disconcerting if it’s the first time with a new yard and, in this case, a new method.
Here at Medana Bay, they employ the simple tractor and trailer method, a first for us.

followtheboat
We've been blogging, vlogging and podcasting about living on our boat since 2005. If you love travel, sailing, fishing, diving and photography this might be the channel for you... Each week we post a 15-20 minute snapshot of what we did. It might cover anything from sailing, travelling, meeting people, fishing, cooking, shopping in exotic markets or hanging out on a tropical beach, to boat maintenance (there's a lot of that when you live on a boat) and tackling challenges or bureaucratic conundrums. There's also a fair bit of photography and diving. Even though the world continues to throw spanners at us, we love being perpetual travellers. And we've never regretted making the big leap into this alternative lifestyle for even a nanosecond. If we make you laugh or inspire you, then these videos haven't been a total waste of time. Pop round to the pub and share a drink with us... https://followtheboat.com/pub/ Jamie and Liz xx
