I am close to completing a purchase of a 28ft wooden Ketch. What do other members think about keeping her (mostly) afloat? Or, must I arrange to have her undecover for the winter? (we are in Scotland!)
I agree with all of the others. If possible keep the boat in as much as possible. This is the first year possibly ever that my boat will have spent the best part of a year out of the water and it's not done any good at all, in fact it's doubled the amount of work necessary unfortunately. Can't wait to see her back in the water where she belongs.
Thats not to say though that she doesn't come out for a short period every year for a refit. I'd struggle to come to terms with knowing that I've started the season without a pristine coat of paint on the bottom.
