Re mast up. A friend stored his C&C 33-2 with mast up and it blew over in a winter storm. He now has no mast.
With mast down possibly the reduced windage would have prevented the boat from blowing over but certainly would have not resulted in a mast broken in three areas. The boat was on a cradle.

For those who store their boat with the mast up, do you leave shroud tension alone or do you loosen the shrouds for the winter?
