I just got a new boat this season. I am getting warm about storing the
boat with its mast up for the north-eastern Canadian winter. I am not
all convince yet that it a good thing to do.

We store mast-up, but drop it every few years for so I can do a
complete checkout of the rigging and fittings. Would prefer to have it
down every year, but it's an additional expense.

If you haven't inspected the mast, I suggest dropping it this time.
