MAST-UP STORAGE

Mast-Up Winter Storage for Sailboats in Jamestown, RI

Keep your sailboat rigged and make the transition from sailing season to winter storage easier.

Mast-up winter storage at Dutch Harbor Boat Yard gives sailors a convenient alternative to removing and storing the mast each year. Your sailboat is hauled, professionally supported, and stored with the mast remaining stepped, helping simplify both fall haul-out and your return to the water in spring.

Located in Jamestown, Rhode Island, our team makes it easy to coordinate winterization, maintenance, repairs, bottom work, and spring commissioning while your sailboat is stored.

Keep the Mast Up. Keep the Off-Season Simple.

For many sailors, hauling the boat is only part of the winter storage process. Removing the mast can add another step to fall decommissioning and another project before spring launch.

Mast-up storage keeps your sailboat rigged while it is stored ashore for the winter, creating a more streamlined approach to the off-season.

Once your boat arrives, our team coordinates haul-out, blocking, storage, and any requested winter service. When spring returns, we can help prepare your boat for launch so you can focus on getting back to sailing.
