It just seems that if your boat wants to fly, it will. That's why I have my insurence cover the boat. It won't pay for all the hard work you put into restoring the boat, but at least you can buy another one.

I do agree that the tarp invites the wind and snow to cause damage.

"Pucker Factor" derives from my ability to scare the hell out of my soon to be wife when we start flying hulls. She loves it. I think she likes the adrenaline. I've been told, though, that I am only allowed to put a lemon on the hull for a graphic.
