We store mast up. The main thing again is to secure the mast (I tie the rotation into the “Y” at the traveler line) and keep the wind from getting under the tramp. During the monsoons we face her into wind and place the beach wheels at the stern then pound in a couple of stakes about 1-2 meters abeam and tie in the traps. Whole process takes about five minutes and there’s no question she’s going to stay put. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />


"House prices have risen by nearly 25 percent over the past two years. Although speculative activity has increased in some areas, at a national level these price increases largely reflect strong economic fundamentals." – Ben Bernanke – 2005
