YachtService.me Winter Cover Installation Process
1. Assessment and Planning

• Yacht Evaluation: Inspecting the yacht’s dimensions and layout to determine the best cover type.
• Cover Selection: Recommending custom-fit or universal winter covers made from durable, weather-resistant materials.

2. Surface Preparation

• Cleaning the yacht’s exterior to remove dirt, grime, and moisture before cover installation.
• Ensuring hatches, vents, and fittings are secure to prevent water ingress.

3. Installation of the Winter Cover

• Carefully placing the cover to ensure full coverage of the yacht, including the hull, deck, and fittings.
• Securing the cover with straps, ropes, or weights to prevent shifting or damage during high winds.
• Adjusting for proper ventilation to avoid condensation buildup beneath the cover.

4. Final Inspection

• Ensuring the cover is tightly secured and provides complete protection.
• Checking for potential weak points that could lead to tears or water pooling.
