Not that I'm looking forward to the winter but it is heading this way. I wonder how does everyone 'winterize' their M -boats? My boat is so simple, there is no water or electrical system to worry about. Should I shrink wrap it? Anything special I need to do for the fiberglass hull or the mast? Should I take down all the riggings? Should I paint the bottom in the fall or in the spring? I have a 2HP Honda outboard, how should I winterize/store that? Any part of the boat sensitive to cold temperatures? Anything special I need to do if I want to store it outside? What are necessary winter sailing gears? I'd appreciate any advice for frostbiting. If the winter stays mild I might take it out a few times... Cheers, Donglai M15 #612
