Maintenance on a sailboat varies by the part of the boat. Some aspects require maintenance very few months (as a car does with oil changes, etc.) and others have yearly maintenance requirements. I would suggest determining what parts of the boat require maintenance, on what schedule, and create a log to keep track of.
