Sorry southerners, but this poll is for northern boaters only.

Answer these questions:

1. Is your boat in the water and/or ready to go?

More or less ready to go. Just need to drop the mast from its slightly
suspended position to snug up against the cabin for travel. Probably
will go in the water next week. Would do it this weekend but our
favourite extra hand is traveling to Florida for a convention. We will
either enlist less experienced help or wait till he gets back.


2. How much time did you spend prepping your boat for launch?

A few hours



3. What exactly did you do/have done to the boat to prep it?


remove tarp. Remove the frame that supports the tarp when it is piled
with 10 feet of snow.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. (just kidding about the repeat part)

Get outboard serviced/checked out

Last year we stripped and refinished the teak - that took a few days.


4. Did you do it yourself or contract it out?


The outboard is done by professional types. Anything else is DIY.


5. What size is your boat?

21' Sirius sailboat.
