ok I know this might raise some debate, but I was wondering what most of you do when storing mast up. I leave the boat on the trailer in the club parking lot with the mast up. There is a mountain and trees just a few feet behind it and a tree line about 100 yards ahead of it so the boat is pretty well protected from the winds i think. I was leaving the mast free to rotate so it can turn into the wind and reduce the strain on the trailer ties and the ground ties (have tied the boat down like crazy after seeing some recent carnage from a freak storm). the bows are pointed to the distant tree line where the most wind is likely to come from. But found online the idea of securing the mast in place to prevent it osscillating and pulling up the tiedowns. So figured would ask around and see what the majority thinking was.
thanks
