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

Everyone here tarps...keeps the ice and water out of cracks that cause leaks down the line...also protects the varnish from winter
wind and ice ravage...keeps ice out of winches, etc. Those that don't tarp or shrink wrap (which is another whole set of problems)
have crummy looking topsides....

How pathetic that most wear up there comes from storage!

Doesn't that tell you something awful about you silly northerners
not being sailors at all?
