[LWLS] | Hauling Out in a TROPICAL CLIMATE - ALL You Need to KNOW | LinneaSailing

All you need to know before hauling out and leaving your boat in a Tropical climate! In this special episode, we give you all our best advice on how we succeeded with our haul out in Trinidad. We talk about price, what and how we did, what worked well and what we would do differently next time. We have gathered all this information because there are a lot of different theories on the internet whit people saying that THIS is the only way to do it. Like having a dehumidifier, do you REALLY need it? Well, it will save you a lot of cleaning time if you have it - but if you are prepared to put in the hours, you can di just fine without it! We don't say that this is a guarantee recipe, but this is how we did and it worked out great! Hopefully you can watch this video and get a better idea on what practices can be best applied to your boat and your situation.
