Read recently that wooden boats shouldn't be out of the water for long 'cos the wood dries out too much, 'the boards do shrink' etc., while GRP boats need at least 3 months drying out to keep from getting osmotic. We were planning to keep Santa Teresa (GRP hull) sailing over most of the winter and just bring her out for a couple of weeks to do a few bits and bobs. Were looking forward to wrapping up extra warm and taking advantage of quieter/less busy waters over winter. So should we keep her out for 3 months to make sure she doesn't get a blistery, soggy bottom? What do you other folk do?
