Remove and store the sails. As soon as you are in port security, remove the sails by removing the tension from all the levers that support the sail. When the sails are not in use, they should be kept clean and individually bagged. You will need to do this with both the foresail and the jib. Remove all sail slats from their pockets. Once you have folded the fock, place it in the pouch and tie it to the boom with a few knots. Do not fold the sails the same way, this will cause creases that the wind will not smooth out. Sails should be stored dry and washed of salt, as mold will form on damp sails.

Clean out anything that may come into disrepair. Tie the lines to the ducks. Carefully fold the loose lifelines and tie them so that they do not lie on the deck underfoot. Wash the deck of salt, especially if your deck is teak. Salt can leave marks on the wood.
