Protect Your Boat in the Thaw

After weeks of snow a thaw is underway across Ireland today but melting snow will produce even more difficulties for boat owners.

It's very easy to make one of the five most common winterising mistakes. Check them HERE.

It's not too late to check on your boat and shake off that snow!
