You live up north, your birds are down at my house crapping on my mast all winter, and your spiders are here too. My mast is aluminum, if I had an expensive carbon mast I would get a cover for it, but I would still trailer it sail track up.

I also have a Prindle Escape and a Hobie 14 sitting on the beach, mast up. There is a big red tailed hawk that sits on top of the Prindle mast most mornings, crapping on the tramp. There are other birds that sit on the Hobie mast, they crap too. Do you have special birds up there that don't crap? Send them down here please!
