Hi folks: A note on winter outside storage if you use your boat in colder months. My M 15 is covered with a tarp over the mast like a giant tent. After each use I make sure all water drained on drive home. Make sure no debris like leaves clogging center board slot so it will not hold water in cockpit. I use an electric motor in winter and the outboard is stored in garage. Hardly use motor - sail from and to dock. All electronics with batteries are stored in a backpack that goes in and out of boat with each sail day. The front of the trailer is lower than back to allow water to drain thru CB slot. And no accumulation in cockpit. Even though boat is covered wind may send snow or rain inside. Although we can have 40 degree days it gets down in 20s at night and ice can cause damage. I check boat every day it is covered for water and ice, except when traveling. Haven’t had trouble. Anyone have ideas? Pete Chinook Breeze Sent from my iPhone
