Long Term Storage in the Tropics

With our boat out of the water now since August & no prospect of getting her back in until maybe the fall, I was wondering what experiences people have had with long term storage and the prevention of UV & humidity damage- what's worked & what hasn't??

Re: Long Term Storage in the Tropics

Sailing Luckyfish has a couple of videos on this subject:

I think it is these two, but you might want to check some of their other videos.

Hope that helps

Re: Long Term Storage in the Tropics

I think Distant Shores covered some things too. Check the recent Panama (not Canal) related videos here:

"We're selling our boat! Beyond Panama"

"Back to the Boat in Panama!"

"We’ve got problems!"
