Hello:
I am new to this Forum, but not new to Laser sailing. I have searched the Laser Forum and find little direct information about my question.
I need some expert help from Laser folks about winter storage of a Laser.
I have a standard Laser 14. I live in Kansas where the winters are VERY cold at times.
I plan on winter storing my Laser is a heated garage. In order to save floor space, I will store the Laser from the garage rafters (not on the rafters, rather hopefully hanging the boat from a set of multiple rafters)
I have never done this before, so I need help understanding the best and safest way to do this and not compromise the integrity of the hull.
My questions are:
Do I rafter hang the Laser right side up? Or, deck facing down?
Either way, how to I support the Laser as to not damage the hull or the deck?
And last, either way, how many support straps or other options do I use, and the spacing of support straps?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
