Winter Storage Pack

A practical Owner Guide and Toolkit for managing winter storage with greater clarity and control, from yard selection through launch.

Winter storage is more than a period ashore. Yard quotations, handling, additional work, vessel handover, periodic checks and pre-launch activities can create costs and responsibilities that are worth documenting systematically.

What the pack includes

  • Practical guide to costs, quotation scope and key owner checks
  • Pre-haul-out checklist
  • Comparison of up to three yard quotations
  • Yard Decision Scorecard to assess more than price alone
  • Vessel handover record
  • Additional work authorisation register
  • Winter inspection log
  • Pre-launch checklist and final cost summary

Two documents, two roles

The Winter Storage Owner Guide explains the method and the key decisions. The Winter Storage Owner Toolkit turns that method into a working document with fillable fields, checklists and registers.

The Toolkit can be completed on a computer or tablet, saved for your vessel, or printed for use during yard inspections.
