To get us in the Christmassy mood here at Mylor, we have compiled a Mylor 12 days of Christmas! If you are still stuck for ideas on Christmas presents, this may give you some ideas...if it does, give us a ring and speak to Martin!
12 keel bolts replacing - If you have had a knock to the keel this year it might be worth having it checked by a surveyor in case there have been any damage done to your keel bolts, keel or hull.
11 gallons of diesel - before fueling up for the season it would be wise to treat you diesel already in your tanks for diesel bug. We have "Fuel Set" available from the main office shop, just come and see Steve.
10 metres of lines - always ensure you have adequate lines onboard for mooring the boat but also if you get caught out and need to be towed!
9 hours of polishing - yawn! But to make the hull look good for the season and protect it, it does need to be done! Don't panic though as we can do it for you, pop in and get a quote!
8 planks splitting - Have you started seeing daylight through your wooden hull? It might be worth getting some planks replaced, or at least get our shipwrights to have a look at it for you and advise on what to do.
7 bottle screws...erm screwing, or at least keeping your rigging in place! If you haven't had a rigging check done get the chandlery to do it. It will give you piece of mind when out sailing next season.
6 seacocks serviced - it can be a time consuming and awkward job and one that a lot of people forget about. Our guys can service your seacocks for you so they are all fully functional.
5 speakers surrounding - Boating isn't always about peaceful calm waters especially if you have young people to bring with you! Invest in some decent speakers in the cabin and the cockpit. Our electricians can fit the for you but don't forget to link in the VHF so you maintain a constant radio vigil in case of emergencies.
4 cylinders pumping (or maybe less!) - A full engine service before the beginning of the summer will give your engine a great start to the season and give you chance to sort out any problems you may have had at the end of the season that time has slowly erased!
3 batteries charging - Make sure all your batteries are charged and ready to go! We offer a battery charging service if required.
2 anodes replaced - if they are particularly eroded it might be worth booking in an electrician to have a look at your electrical circuit onboard to ensure it is all safe and working correctly.
1 HotVac treatment - osmosis will not just go away by itself but with the HotVac system at Mylor we can completely dry out the hull, strip it and cure the osmosis. The HotVac dries the hull effectively in a relatively short time so the job does not have to take years and cost a small fortune like it used to!
I hope this has given you idea on what to get ME for Christmas!! As a boat owner myself I hope I speak on behalf of all boat owners-this is what we would like for Christmas, not socks, slippers or bath bubbles!
