Is it recommended practice to move a boat to different slips or to alternate between backing into the slip versus bow first to have the boat weather evenly? The sun always beating on one side of the boat must have an effect on one side more than the other? The reason I ask is my buddy Pete leaves his boat in exactly the same position for the entire season and I am very worried that his gorgeous boat will rapidly lose value. Best regards. Dave

no need to rotate boat ! ! !
Dave no need to rotate boat in slip ! Just a little extra wax on the weather side and it will look good forever.Remember if it never leaves the slip it never gets and harmful salt build up and never has any wear and tear issuse! I think that you ahve been hanging around Hankasore to much! You two worry about me more then my own Mother!

Yes Yes Yes
Bit like cooking a chicken on that spinning thing in the oven. ( You're right. I don't cook a lot!)

Not sure, but you do have the right of way on...
...the water as you are TROLLING. I'll try to answer your question. Probably does not make much of a difference on Earth as conduction, convection and radiation will avoid extreme temperature differences. However, lets say you and your friend decide to do some TROLLING in outerspace for example. You would want to maintain a certain amount of rotation to avoid temperature build up on one side. Hope this helps. alan

trolling?
Alan, I must be getting to old to mess around on computers. What in the world are you referencing here and on other posts when you talk about trolling? There are some responses on this board that I take as "inside information" that makes me feel very "outside." Tom Monroe Carlyle Lake

trolling for flames, of course.
Troll is a usenet term, from the ancient days before web browsers. Those of us on the internet back then used programs called "News Readers" and spoke in strange jargon. The term "spam" is from the same lexicon. A troll is a post that has no other purpose than to provoke people to respond angrily, a la the fishing technique. Way back when, people used to post an inflammatory message in one usenet discussion group, and address it so the vehement responses were automatically duplicated in another discussion group for the amusement those who posted trolls and laughed at the responses. Other people play golf or go sailing for fun. Propeller heads post trolls.

Tom, Paul answered your question.
Usually this kind of stuff doesn't get posted here. At times we have had strongly worded discussion but all reasonable. The two posts in question were obviously done by a, well, troll, in every sense of the word. Who knows, maybe he even looks like the ones that were sold in the late 60's early 70's :>) Please don't get put off by terms that you don't know, people here are very friendly and will gladly explain them. I have learned much of internet short hand and jargon from my three young kids. alan

Back to Sailing !!!
Thanks, paul and alan. I understand now. I wasn't really put off, just confused. You're right, I haven't seen that kind of stuff on this forum, so my radar wasn't up. I'm actually a pretty long-term computer user ... I started with DOS and an 8088. But I didn't do the network stuff until MUCH later. Back to sailing !!!!!!! Tom Monroe Carlyle Lake

On boat rotation
I recently took off the paint from the transom spelling out the name of my 1983 Hunter. IT had been on the baot since the boat was new. Much to my surprise, the gel coat underneath where the paint had been was noticalby higher than the exposed gel coat. I can only conclude that over time the exposed gel coat has either deteriorated (oxidized) or been weathered away. I will be sanding and re-gelcoating the transom this fall but it does suggest that weathering is a factor (especially if you do not wax regularly)and it would be logical that it would happen more where there is more exposure.
