I wish i could find a frostbite program nearby. But i would still have to store it in January - March since the lake usually freezes to about 20 meters out.
Would it be better to leave it on the dolly with the caps that sit on the gunnel's, while keeping snow off it, or upside down on bunks, while keeping snow off it?
Also would you recommend leaving the inspection port, bailer, and butt plug open over the winter?
Thanks
The best option is to find a frostbite program and sail it, second best is to leave it on the dolly and keep the snow off it, upside down is third option but allowing snow and ice to build up on it while upsidedown will cause some damage eventually.
even though the snow can be light when it falls, after days and weeks it gets pretty condensed so if you can keep the snow off its a good idea,
I highly recommend option 1
Hi,
I live in Toronto, Canada, and, as we have gone soft over the last few years, I was wondering what the best thing to do, to store the boat for the winter would be. I thought of building bunks to store it upside down, on with top and bottom covers. I was also wondering if the weight of several inches of snow would be okay on the hull for a couple months? The other option would be to leave it on the dolly.
Thanks
