Boat Spinning
Top Tips You Need to Remember When Leaving Your Boat
When the sailing is over and the time comes to go home, you want to make sure that your boat is happy and safe while you're away. This short section looks at the short-term and long-term concerns you need to remember.
Short-term
If you'll be back to the boat in the next few days, or even within the month, after sailing you want to put your boat away securely, but not so securely that you need the whole weekend to prepare for your next sail. Here are some tips to help make sure that your boat is ready to go again when you decide to take it out for another spin:
Minimize water collection: Dinghies can be stored upside down if you take down the mast. If you leave the mast up, try to angle the dinghy so that rainwater drains out quickly. Many dinghies have drain plugs on the stern for this purpose. Most cockpits of keelboats drain automatically, but make sure that all hatches and openings are well sealed. A cover over the boom tied to the rails can also help keep the rain out.
Make no dents, please: Be careful when storing your dinghy on land. If you store it with the mast up, make sure that the hull is supported in several locations, not a single point where the hull can depress and weaken. If you store your dinghy upside down, consider where the deck is strongest — often at the very bow, near the chain plates, and at the transom.
Protect your boat and its gear from the sun: Store as much stuff (rope, blocks, sails, and so on) as practical out of those rays.
Protect your gear from the wind: You know to tie down the hull, but consider other things that can loosen up and blow on a windy day (such as any sail, including a roller-furled jib and halyards, which can cause a real racket).
Secure the hull: If you store your boat on land, make sure that you tie it down securely. If your boat lives afloat, check the dock or mooring lines.
Turn off anything electrical other than an automatic bilge pump on keelboats. You may also need to remove fuel tanks on boats with outboards and/or close fuel valves on any boat with an engine.
Long-term
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, the sailing season isn't year round. If you're going to leave your boat for longer than a month, consider these further efforts to keep the boat happy:
Covering: Whenever possible, cover your equipment to protect it from rain, snow, sun, and dirt.
Engine: Ask your mechanic what, if anything, you should do to your engine, including winterizing to avoid ice forming in the engine block. Disconnect the battery terminals unless the boat is stored in the water where an automatic bilge pump is necessary.
Fluids: Drain water and gasoline tanks and top off diesel tanks.
Haul out: Most large keelboats are hauled out at a boatyard, cleaned (especially below the waterline), derigged, and covered with protective tarps for the winter. Make sure that the boat is supported and secured adequately.
Lubrication: Consider lubricating all your moving fittings, including parts of the mast, to protect them from inactivity.
Mildew: If you live in a wet area and plan to store your boat under plastic tarps, you're going to have a mildew factory under there. Take home for storage anything susceptible to damage. Some bigger keelboats even have a dehumidifier rigged up to drain into the sink.
Sails: If rolling your sails is ever worth the time and effort, this is the time — if you have the space to store them. You may want your sailmaker to check out your sails in the loft.

My head is spinning as if i'm still on a boat?
Is this normal? I have been kayaking each of the last few days for hours on end. When I get home on the computer it feels like i'm still on a kayak, as if waves are propelling me up and down.
It's normal. Your equilibrium is still rocking to the motion of the water.
