Don't put the sails away wet. If wet take someplace to dry out and then bag and return to the boat. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/ On Wed, Nov 11, 2020, 8:04 AM Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats < montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
Hi folks: Since I sail thru winter and trailer to the reservoir I worry about wet sails at the end of the day. I’ve stores my sails through winter in the cabin of M15 and had no trouble over last five years in temps in teens. Idaho is pretty dry even in winter and the weather station in the boat indicates low humidity. However today I’m going to be in snow and rain on the reservoir and wondering if it would be a good idea to store the sails in the garage overnight to dry out before putting them back in the boat again until next weeks sail. They are new sails from Elliott Paterson. Do sails she’s the water? Is there a chance for mold? Worry wart sailor What do u guys do? Pete
