Newbie here. Got a great 2014 and planning winter storage. I have some garage space (non heated) but I don't want to take up more room than I have to. Anyone breakdown the entire boat for winter storage? Doesn't seem like that much more work once the tramps are off?

It's not that big a job to break it down (or put it back together in the spring). Keep track of the bits. Mast is still going to be 25 feet long though. It does make a much smaller package when apart. I assume you don't have a trailer. Try to make sure there is no water trapped inside anything.

I used to hoist my H17 from the rafters for storage. Just used blocks and rope from the hardware store. Parked my car underneath it.
