Mothballing Megayachts

Good quote form "Megas in Mothballs" by Richard Boggs in the October 2009 edition of Dockwalk Magazine (professional yacht crew mag.):

Layup is not a trivial matter. A yacht could be compared to a medium-size building packed with delicate electronic assemblies attached to complex mechanical devices surrounded by fine furniture beneath works of art that would quicken the pulse of many museum curators. The basement is full of holes and the plumbing is filled with flammable and corrosive liquids. If you want to go away for awhile, you can’t just turn off the lights, lock the doors and ask someone to have a look at it from time to time.
