I uploaded the pictures into my Facebook gallery. Half an hour later I started receiving messages about the critical mistake we did: wrapped the boat tightly into plastic. Turns out that this has ruined quite many good boats. Water vapour needs airflow to escape from below the canvas. Otherwise it will seep into microcracks on the hull and start bulging up the plywood. The other problem is that this heavy type of tarp will rub and wear on the paintjob of the boat. Elastic ropes will come loose and so will the tarp. Especially over the winter, since it tends to be a windy season.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, we want something like this:<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shipshapecanvas.com\/images\/framelesswintercover5.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy: www.shipshapecanvas.com<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>That is &#8211; at best a large free space between the deck and the tarp. We will fix the problem in a week. A good way to hold the tarp down are water canisters.<\/p>\n<p>Will write a season recap soon, with a big sailing gallery!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nUku<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
