Hi all. It is time to haul the boat out for storage here in the Northeast. This is our first sailboat and first year for winterizing. We would appreciate any tips or suggested websites to help with this process. We are trying to do as much as we can on our own to save some money and don't want to miss anything. We are also concerned about keeping mold at bay. The boat will be out of the water but we are not allowed any electricity so we can't use fans. Also, any opinions on covering the boat? Shrink wrap is expensive here so we are considering purchasing a cover instead. We plan to keep the boat for awhile. Is it better to go with over the rail or a full cover? We have heard various opinions about each. We are going to the Annapolis boat show next weekend and plan to check out the vendors. Hoping to find a good deal on a good cover. Thanks for any and all suggestions on winter storage!
