[Rhodes22-list] Winter storage

[Mary Lou Troy]

To add to the excellent advice you've already been given. Mast up or 
down is your choice depending on where you store the boat but if you 
have IMF, you can give more protection to the sail with the mast 
down. I would definiately remove the genny if you have the means to 
do so unless you are lowering the mast and covering everything with a 
tarp. We've always used a tarp on our boat rather than shrinkwrap as 
we were told that shrinkwrap can blister the paint on a painted hull.

Best,
