Just for the record, I DO wash down the boat itself after every outing, especially concentraing on anything metal (lines, clips, blocks, etc). It's just the sails that give me grief to rinse and dry. I'd be curious to know what the real world difference would be in sail life depending on whether one rinses or puts away salty.

Now, as for puttin' em away damp, for SHAME, Gary! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
