Go west young man. In fact go as far west as you can, then turn right. Call us when you get on #5.
I have an open transom for one thing. I could fill the water ballast tank but @Crazy Dave Condon has made it clear not to ever fill the ballast while on the trailer. So no water for me! Thanks for the thought, though.Put a tarp in the cockpit and flood it to weight it down???
It's not that hard with help. Finding help at the right time can be a challenge. Then putting it back up again... I'm not as young as I used to be.Maybe you could find a club member to help you drop and secure the mast? That way, if the path changes you could get it out of there. Just a thought. The Hunter mast raising system should make it pretty easy to take down, especially with a second person helping.
I'd also get it on the trailer and at home at first. If things start to look really bad you could pull the boat 100 miles further inland in less than 2 hours. That might be less time spent than trying to tie it down and worrying about it. You should be able to find short term storage pretty easy. We once left the Suburban at a place like that for 2 months when we flew home... I'll leave the boat on the trailer in the safest place I can find at the club. .
That may not be the best idea. Once the wind blows all the water out, the tarp starts to act like a sail, or worse, for your gelcoat, a flag.Put a tarp in the cockpit and flood it to weight it down???
IT WASN'T A SUGGESTION. IT WAS A QUESTION IF IT WAS A VIABLE SOLUTION, AND THUS THE QUESTOION MARKS AT THE END.Ron20324;
That is a bad suggestion for Kermit's boat plus it is an open transom anyway......
The outer bands of that storm were strong here too. We had 2 full days of strong effects. That thing was huge. It was in Cuba & Georgia at the same time.I'm still amazed at the strength of this storm that's technically nowhere near us.
