As the thread title states, what do you leave on board over winter storage and how do you store?
My first year back in a big boat after taking a few years off. Went indoor cold this year (kicking myself for not thinking heated until it was too late). Can't recall many boats being stored with canvas/eisenglass up, but the 8 other boats in my building have them up, with only two being covered with plastic. Not planning on plastic as she could use a wash. Was just waxed a month ago.
I took all but my bimini top down (can't get it off the way it's sewn/slid into the track - too tight with it being cold out). Cockpit cover is on, strataglass panels laying on the forward berth and eisenglass at home waiting to be polished and put away. New to the whole strataglass - last boat had thin eisenglass all the way around, would just roll it and keep it in an oversized duffle bag at home.
Aside from canvas / glass - what else do you remove for the winter?
