The Four Seasons of Boat Maintenance: A Checklist Based Plan

By Christopher Birch

The Four Seasons of Boat Maintenance delivers a comprehensive plan for the care of your boat.

Sail or power. New or used. Big or small.

Applicable for both boatyard maintained and owner maintained boats.

The book is organized by season and structured with checklists:

- Spring Boat Commissioning Checklist

- Summer Boat Care Checklist

- Fall Boat Decommissioning and Winterization Checklist

- Winter Boat Work Checklist

- Pro Tips for Common Seasonal Concerns

Christopher Birch is the founder of Birch Marine Inc., a boat maintenance, and repair business in Boston. During his 37-year career in that shop, Chris shepherded thousands of boats, and their owners, thru the four seasons of boat maintenance.

Chris has accumulated over 120,000 lifetime sea miles logged as captain. An award-winning author, he has written extensively in the boating press and currently serves as a contributing editor at SAIL Magazine.

This is the maintenance manual that should have come with the boat but didn't.

A wise old salt once said, "Take care of your boat, and she will take care of you."
