To help you identify potential problems at an early stage, be on the lookout for these common warning signs:

• Cracks or blisters in the hull: These are signs that there may be underlying structural problems that need immediate attention.
• Rust and corrosion: Any indication of rust or corrosion should be repaired by a trained professional as soon as possible before the damage becomes more extensive and affects key structures of the boat.
• Water Leaks: If you find water in places where it shouldn’t be, you need to have it looked at as soon as possible. Corrosion, mold growth, and rot can occur if neglected, resulting in extensive and costly damage. See these tips about bailing water from your boat.
• Rigging Damage: You’ll want to have a professional conduct routine inspections of your rigging in order to ensure that your vessel continues to function properly and safely.
• Warped or Cracked Woodwork: This is a tell-tale sign of moisture damage which can spread and lead to larger structural issues; therefore, it should be inspected and repaired by a qualified professional specializing in carpentry and woodwork.
