Hi Scott.   Congratulations to you and your family on finding a truly terrific sailboat.  If you  decide to lower the mast and put a tarp over the mast and boat for the winter, be sure to block-up/support the middle of the mast so that any major snow or ice load does not permanently bend the mast.   ----- Original Message ----- From: scott golden To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2002 9:49 AM Subject: M_Boats: new owner Hello, my folks just bought a Montgomery 17 but have put me in charge of her since they don't know how to sail. We'll sail the Little Duck on a small lake in northern MN. The Little Duck is hull 266 and eventually we're going to fix the electrical, water and head systems so we'll be using this site frequently. My first question? with winter coming on can the boat be stored on the trailer with mast and rigging still up? What are the possible problems of doing this? We do plan on covering her. I appreciate your responses. Thanks. Scott Golden. Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos, & more faith.yahoo.com
