Related but specific to sailboats:
What is best practice (or acceptable practice) for preparing and
storing sails for the winter?
In the absence of a sail loft I can't imagine a graceful way to clean
dry and fold the sails. Maybe step a mast in the back yard?
My sails are all fairly old but in decent shape and I would like to
get some more seasons out of them. In all honesty I don't even have an
accurate inventory. There are sails in bags that I have never put my
eyes on.
I think I can recognize a mylar vs. Kevlar sail but I have one that
looks like it is made of silk. Super light weight and fits into a bag
less than half the size of the others. Very colorful. Before I pull it
out and try to fold it or whatever I should do does anyone have any
idea what it might be?
Last rookie question (on this post). What is a blooper? I really truly
did attempt to find the term on the interwebs without much success.

Thanks everyone. We're OK. I winterized all the water systems
yesterday ahead of this cold spell. Pulled my sails off Sunday and
brought home a van load of gear.
Just read through a few winterizing checklists and I'm about 90%
done. Need to remove the last bit of gear like the wheel and spin
pole and electronics and setup the cabin cushions and rig my small
tarp to cover the cabintop. I may also wipe down the interior teak w
Pinesol to prevent mold and mildew over the winter, and lube or polish
a few things to get ahead of spring commissioning? Sad days.

Chuck,
I've always found this list on WestMarine.com
<http://WestMarine.com> to be very good:

Dropped into the 20's here last night. You may be too late :-)
All the best,
