Unless forced to do so by weather (in which case you should consider
moving south), the need for underwater repairs or to renew anti-fouling,
you shouldn't haul your boat out of the water at all. It's bad for it.

Now I've heard it all.... it's bad to haul your boat out!! Good Grief!

Here's a bit of news... if you are not living on your boat... it's a damned
smart move to haul it when you know for a fact you are not going to use it!
If you do live on your boat and are not underway for extended periods or
enroute.... it most definitely pays to haul your boat on a regular basis!
If you live on a boat tied to a mooring for 90% of the time... a 3 year
haul-out cycle is ridiculously incompetent!
