Reawakening summer
The shared joy of preparing a boat for the season
Not much comes close to uncovering your boat after a long winter. Getting your sea companion ready can be hard work. But remember to enjoy the process.
For Simon and his father, taking their Nordkapp Enduro 705 from winter storage is like reuniting with an old friend. It's an opportunity to step away from the hustle of everyday life, forge deeper bonds with their boat, and savour invaluable father-son time.
