They call it taking it up. What happens is the wood dries out during the winter and you need to rehydrate it. Boats that are in the water all the time have no problem but trailer sailors need to address the issue. You can simply chuck a bucket of water in before you drive to the boat ramp and you are good to go. Its like a wooden barrel and needs to get soaked. Wooden boats are always sinking. Its just a question of how fast.
