Storing sails
I've just bought my first boat - a 1983 Ericson 28+ - that came
equipped with several sails that I don't think I'll be using this season. Right not they're all stuffed in sailbags sitting in my garage. Is this an acceptable way to store sails that won't be used for a year? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

Storing sails
Gary,
If you aren't going to use them, they should be folded and bagged. Remember, even though they are bagged and stored they will continue to age but if they are clean and dry they will be better if they are folded or rolled and bagged. ole Thom |
