Extensive yearly maintenance Every year the yachts are lifted, provided with new antifouling, annual revision of the sail-drive and polishing and waxing of the hulls. Back in the water, the engines are checked every winter and all alternators, starters and electric anchor winches are fully overhauled annually to prevent problems in the summer. The standing rigging and all moving parts in and around the mast for operating the sails are cleaned, checked and re-lubricated. Also the interiors are repainted to prevent discoloration.

Then the sails return from the sailmaker and the upholstery from the laundry, so they can be put back on and into the yachts. As soon as the teak has been treated again and the decks have been waxed, the lines burned, gas & electricity checked, etc., the cleaners can go in and clean everything, up to and including behind all the hatches. After cleaning, everything is checked one more time by Wiebe & Yvonne before the yacht is released to the guests.
