When we used to keep our boat on a mooring year 'round, we used to button her up in November. Take out all the cushions, carpet, clothing and the sails. Open up all the lockers and drain the water systems and then crack open some hatches for plenty of air movement. Put her back together in February.

If you're tied to a dock, Faster's advice will work for you. Keeping the air moving inside the boat is important year 'round.
