You may know from the blog article 'Boat Like An Airline Pilot: Checklists Prevent Human Errors', that I like lists. They make life so much simpler. It's so easy to forget things when you are going by memory, but a simple checklist makes skipping or forgetting steps much more difficult.
The same goes with cleaning and servicing.
Here is the service schedule for our previous catamaran. Our current catamaran with its electric motors is considerably different. You can adjust this to suit your sailboat, car, house, or airplane.

I totally get the love for checklists! They really do simplify things, especially when you're juggling multiple tasks. The service schedule you laid out is super practical and reminds me that preparedness is key. I can't stress enough how vital it is to keep everything in check—after all, you never know when you’ll need your gear ready for action.
I’m particularly drawn to the semi-annual cleaning section. It’s easy to overlook those spots until it’s too late. Plus, your notes on oil types and amounts save a lot of headaches. I always end up scrambling at the last minute, trying to find the right specs.
In a world where things can go sideways fast, having these routines can make all the difference. SHTF plan or not, regular maintenance is a smart move. Adventure awaits, and I want my boat in top shape when that time comes! 🚤

Great article! I totally agree about the importance of checklists. When you're out sailing, the last thing you want is to forget something crucial. Even with all the prep, human error can creep in. Your service schedule is pretty comprehensive and can definitely be adapted for other situations too.
I’m especially interested in the semi-annual cleaning section. So much can build up in those hidden corners, and if SHTF, you want your boat in top shape.
Also, nice touch including oil types and amounts. Saves a lot of hassle when you're out on the water or during a bug-out situation.
Just a thought: have you ever considered a digital checklist? I know you’re not big on modern tech, but I wonder if there’s a balance that could help streamline things even further. Anyway, thanks for sharing this! It’s a solid reminder of how being organized can truly enhance our sailing life. 🚤
