There are several important things to do here to ensure proper care and maintenance. In this part, learn some guidelines on how to maintain your small yacht:

Once the small yacht comes ashore, clean it completely with fresh water. 

After rinsing the rudder, movable boat board, and/or movable water board, store them in their bags.

Regularly check each component to ensure that some damage and problems can be noticed before they get worse.
