We have a 40ft
ketch sailboat. The
boat is stored
on the hard in
Jacksonville area from June-Dec. We usually remove the main and mizzen
sails and store them in the
boat cabin, and we tie the stack packs to the booms.
However, as we prep to do that again, I am wondering ... WHY? Why can’t we leave the main/mizzen
sails in the stack packs, tied securely to the boom? Sunbrella
fabric will protect sails, sails are in a zippered pack, boat stored in open lot, etc.
What is the risk?
Thanks for your opinion.
