Leave the tension as it is. You're not going to add anything to
the storage life that way.

I don't like covering a boat... tend to get mold. Air circulating
keeps things fresher.

It's me again. Thanks for the responses on the continuous furling line.
How
about the standing rigging when the boat is stored mast up? Should I take
off the tension by a few turns? Not enough to let the mast sway but say
5-6
turns? What's the consensus?

Oh, how about covering the boat? Is it necessary? While looking around the
yard it seems most do not.
