For those in the Northern Hemisphere, and far south enough that your boat isn't covered in snow, what sort of work do you do in the off-season to get ready for the first race of the year?
I spent the last couple of days taking parts off for cleaning and lube, and out-of-the-sun storage. I also put on fresh bungee, a new main halyard, and replaced a spin block. I think I'd like to replace some dyneema bits, maybe a new spin halyard and bridles.
Of course, the full yard cover is all buttoned up, too, with chocks strategically placed on the tramp to prevent puddles.
What's your routine?
