MAINTENANCE

 

 

 

We keep Voyageur in fine condition with regular maintenance. Here’s a picture of Voyageur ready to go in the water on launch day.

 

·         In fall, we take her out of the water, remove the bottom paint, and cover her up for the cold Chicago winter…

 

·         In the winter, we work on projects and restoration

 

·         In spring, we sand, paint, varnish, and launch…

 

·         And in summer, we sail her!
