How often should a GRP boat be hauled out for annual maintenance?
Haul-out frequency is set by how fast the hull fouls rather than by paint life; the biological load in Aegean and Mediterranean waters shortens the interval compared with northern waters.
Why it works this way
While the boat is out, paint is not the only job available: anodes, seacocks, shaft and moisture readings all fit in the same window. Timing the hull survey to the same lift avoids paying for a second one.
