But in Maryland, you donβt have real winter (π). I think that any issues with tightening/loosening the shrouds starts making any difference when you have longer periods of low temperatures (-20 Β°C/ below 0 Β°F). So, this would only apply to Canada in-shore and Mid-West in the US. Along the coasts, even in Canada or Alaska, it does not get cold enough to worry about that issue.

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?
