This is a yacht preventive maintenance list developed by Bob Forman with the help of Rusty Bradford who used to head up service at Hinckley. 

Bob would like this to become a living document that we constantly look to improve, so if you can, send suggestions for additions, changes, to RSFormanJr@aol.com.
