Unfortunately, its time for me to start thinking about winterizing my Sunfish (early, I know, but I'm a student with no more time to go use it). I'm thinking about getting a fitted cover for the boat to make winter storage that much easier -- preferably a trailering type, that has a skirt which covers the sides of the boat.
I know a lot of places make fitted covers, but I'm curious to hear if anyone has recommendations as to the most durable cover material/best place to get one/all around best cover to own -- I know SailorsTailor has been recommended a couple of times, and I know Colie Sails makes pretty good stuff. I'm not averse to spending a good chunk of change if the cover is going to last a couple of years (read: at least 4-5).
Lastly, is there any real issue with storing the boat deck up on its trailer for the winter? I would be surprised if there was, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
So, any recommendations?
