Power or Sail:
1.) Everything below deck should be properly secured and stowed away. The boat travels smoother on the road than in the water,
although sudden stops are sometimes inevitable.
2.) All canvas has to be removed, and properly stored away. Shrink wrap is not designed to travel over the road. WE ASSUME NO
LIABILITY for damage to your boat if the wrap comes loose.
3.) Everything loose removed from the deck. Anchors stowed.
4.) All hatches and companionway secured and locked.
5.) When traveling through potentially cold weather, THE BOAT SHOULD BE WINTERIZED.
6.) If you are told to remove objects to reduce height, please ensure this is done, before the truck arrives.
7.) Please make sure bilges are dry. Try to get fuel down to a minimum and pump out fresh water and holding tanks. For
larger vessels where weight is a concern, this is a MUST!
Sail:
1.) Mast must be down before the truck arrives. All stays either removed or secured to the mast, if left on, stays could
mark the mast. You could tape strips of carpet between mast and stays to prevent this. Turnbuckles should be taped together,
because vibration could cause them to loosen and fall off. Spreaders should be off or folded and secured. Please try to let
your move co-ordinator know the length and number of the masts. The same for booms or wishbones.

Power:
1.) Boats with flybridges MUST have the windscreens removed from the
flybridge. Sometimes because of height we will ask that
the frame supporting windscreen be removed also.
2.) It may be necessary for you to remove props and/or rudders for travel purpose.
In General:
This is a brief guide only. Common sense is helpful when preparing your boat. We ask for your cooperation in these
preparations, so we can provide our services as professionally as possible. Our drivers are trained to load and drive your
boat to its destination. Although we expect our drivers to be courteous and helpful, they are not marine mechanics and we
cannot expect them to work on boats, for obvious reasons. Prior arrangements to pay for lift charges and work that needs to
be done is greatly appreciated so the driver will not be delayed.
