[Rhodes22-list] Winterization advice

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Ron,
I thought you had a dry spot arranged @ BC for bringing your boat down.  If not, for winter storing I'd sure suggest unthreading the foresail for inside storage.  I'd also be cautious to cover the cockpit well so as to avoid ice expansion/gel cracking on the deck.
R,
Art

Do I store the genoa on the flexible furler ( I have the CDI ) or do I take the genoa off the furler, fold the sail and store the flexible furler separately? The R-22 will be stored outside with the mast down and a tarp over her. I know that my question is pushing the seasons, but this is NH and I might as well be prepared.
