Wave on Standby

As many of you read my previous posts about our new Wave... [we took it to Mexico, set it up and used it for a week, and left it there in our garage until our next visit in a month or so...]

Were we supposed to loosen the Trampoline laces after each trip? We didn't... and I am not sure if it has to be. Can it stay like that all year round? We did of course drop the mast by just unhooking the forestay, but didn't separate the two parts (i.e. bottom half and the comptip). Is there any need to do that?

Also, the battens. We took them out last time... but would it be OK to leave the battens in and just loosen the ends?

Since that garage can get pretty hot in the summers, at least we took the plugs out at the back of the hulls... I remember reading somewhere that it hels expansion of hot air etc...

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you did eveything you need to do. You don't need to loosen the tramp lacing. Battens can stay in, I loosen the ties if I need to leave it for extended periods, just like you did. Probably the most important thing is the hull plugs bieng open. You keep it in a garage, which is a plus.
