[Rhodes22-list] Winter storage-Sail removal

[Rick Lange]

Bob,

I have the GBI deck mounted crane which comes with a tall transom mounted
crutch for the mast.  A 30 ft blue tarp over the lateral mast keeps the
sails dry during the winter and it keeps ice from damaging the gelcoat. 
The mast supported tarp also provides cozy, nicely lighted stand-up space
in the cockpit for all those winter projects.
