Hello all-
I'm a new SUnfish sailor and the forum was very helpful to me a couple of months ago when I asked about dolly type trailers. My Sunfish came with a tote dolly device that fits into the centerboard slot from underneath and enables the boat to be wheeled to the water (which is only 2 streets away). I'll probably be getting a trailer device that I can more easily wheel and launch from.
Now that my sailing is over for he winter, I am wondering about storing my boat outside. I have a tarp for it to keep snow and rain out. RIght now I still have the tote dolly on the boat; so it is resting at an angle in the yard.
Is that safe to do? Should I remove the tote dolly and leave it up on blocks or just on the ground in my yard, covered up in either case?
I appreciate any thoughts and look forward to hitting the water in the spring!
Best,
Jim
