Button up?!?!?!?! excuse me! lot of racing to do tween now and April! even some cruising..................

Been sailing/boating since the 70's, granted took off the late 80's and 90's, but never have I buttoned up a boat and not used it year around!

I would as mentioned, recomend making sure you have plenty of ventilation or things will get moldy down below etc. Check on her every week or two if you do not use her, to make sure lines are solid, not fraying etc. Or some kind of leak that needs attending too. My twins sons and I went out last year for a new yrs sail! it twas a nice day. This year I may light up the boat and put her in the "holiday at the docks" in our guest moorage as part of a YC event in December. so the around vashion the first weekend in Dec will be out.......not sure if that is good or bad........
