RE: catalina27-talk: Strip sails for winter... Or not?

[Mark Tamblyn]

Jim:   If you don’t go out in the winter then I guess the sails should come off. If you might go out for a couple of January outings then I’d say leave em on. The best thing for the sails is no doubt to take them off and put them in the basement. I’ve done that myself every year.   Mark Tamblyn       From: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com [mailto:catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com] On Behalf Of James Calleran Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 8:09 PM To: catalina27-talk@memberclicks.com Subject: catalina27-talk: Strip sails for winter... Or not?   Listees,     What are the thoughts of the list on the matter of removing the sails for the winter, as opposed to leaving the main under the sail cover and the genoa rolled up (with a UV cover, of course)?     I leave BayBird in the water over the winter here in the lower Chesapeake.
