We have a bit of sun today here in NJ. If I had the boat near the water and knew what I was doing I would think about taking it out, but that is another thing.
Just inspecting the cover and the boxes I put in to keep water from accumulating I noticed the port side upper rear area was quite warm while the starboard was cool. I also noticed the white area that is exposed where the rigging attaches was cool.
So now I am wondering. Was the boat previously stored outside with the port rear area exposed like it is now. That would explain the more cracks on that area.
To prevent further issues I figured some insulation might help. I took some bubble wrap and put it between the cover and the surface of the boat.
Now if only the people who own the house next door would only take down the dead oak tree next to my building. Then the boat would be in the shade all winter.
