| 699.1 | Haul it - rationale | EXPERT::SPENCER | | Tue Nov 24 1987 12:45 | 14 |
| If, by putting information in two of your notes together correctly, I
assume you have a 22-footer, why not haul? Among the reasons to consider
are:
- It probably is cheaper. You've got to haul for bottom painting
anyway.
- It definitely is less risky; insurance costs support this.
- You won't find more than a day or two in winter you want to sail.
- Depending on where you're berthed or moored, without circulators
skim ice can do a number even on fiberglass.
- You'll meet great people (other boatowners) in the yard come
spring.

| I think in water storage is relatively safe in New England if the
marina has solid anti freeze systems (bubblers, good power, etc.)
and the place is well protected.
I have seen a couple winters where all of Greenich Bay was frozen
solid, yet in water boats with bubblers were clear of ice.
The drawbacks include the increased chance of osmosis problems
because the boat cannot dry out, and difficulty covering the boat
properly when in the water. It is true that you will want to
haul and paint anyway unless you have a multiseason bottom paint.
Where would you plan to keep the boat?

| Don't stop at the ramp! Bring her all the way home with you. The
preceeding assumes that 1. you like to work on your boat, 2. you
have the room for it at home and 3. the cost of transport will
be close to the cost of storing her at the yard. There's another
note on the virtues of home storage.

| 699.5 | Hauled at yard! | CTOAVX::WOCHE | | Mon Nov 30 1987 12:02 | 15 |
| Thanks for the advice. I went to the yard this weekend and aranged
to have her pulled. I will keep her in the yard in Noank (Spicer's
Marina - anyone else there?) this winter since storage in my new
home will be difficult this year.
I am interested in keeping the boat at home next year. Anyone know
of any Marine Transport companies in the New London, CT area that
are proven and tested? Give a shout if so.
Thanks again,
Kristen
My boat's name is "Nashallah" if anyone is at Spicer's Marina in
Noank - look me up!

| Look for "Summer's Song" a new (not yet delivered) Ericson 32.
I will be wintering in the Noank Village Boat Yard for the remainder
of the winter and will be at a mooring at Spicer's Noank this coming
summer. See you there.
