Why exactly is everything stripped off of the boat in most cases? Are you concerned about items falling off, or damage due to the elements of sun and rain? Or is it purely for organization to make things easier?

I leave all of my wires coiled on the tramp, spin haylard on the mast and jib sheeting still hooked up. With protection form the sun, I do not see how it would benefit me much to remove all of that each trip. Granted most of my trips are short, less than an hour.
