What are the Benefits?
“Many thanks for fitting us in. The mid-season pressure wash has really made a difference to the boat’s performance. In fact, what we’ll save in fuel far outweighs the cost of the lift-n-scrub.”
Jim Coulam, Owner of ‘Miss Naughty’
When your yacht is lifted at Berthon Lymington Marina, we can check and report back to you on the following if required:
Antifouling
Hull – below waterline
Drives
Trim tabs
Rudder(s)
Propeller(s)
Saildrive unit
Bearings
P bracket
Shaft(s)
Log impeller
Depth transducer
Through hull fittings
Keel
Thrusters
Anodes
Visually check the condition of all external anodes including:-
Exclusion clause: this is an advisory notice only, no paint coatings have been removed and no responsibility will be accepted for any negligence of checks or report nor for any errors, omissions, or latent defects of any kind not mentioned. This is a courtesy visual check only and is not intended to be a substitute for your usual inspection.
Do I need to move the boat myself?
Not if berthed at Berthon in Lymington. However, Berthon’s qualified skippers can deliver boats from/to other marinas for an agreed cost.
Why now?
As well as removing any fouling, it offers the chance to inspect the hull below the waterline before that summer cruise or a trip to the Mediterranean to avoid the winter, including checking the: keel attachment, propeller, p brackets, anodes, rudder and bow thruster. It also provides the ideal opportunity to touch up any patches in the antifouling. Peace of mind is the outcome, as well as the performance improvement you’ll get from cleaning.
How long does it take?
An hour or two for larger yachts is all it takes for a simple lift, scrub off and launch.
Yes. You will reach your destination faster and more efficiently, whether to a windward buoy or a prime anchorage. A clean hull will also benefit your vessel under power saving fuel and, potentially, improve manoeuvrability.
