[quote=timscottyoung]Thanks for the input. So far, based on input, I plan to fashion a couple of "pillows" for the bows to give some cushion. I plan to bring the halyard down to the outhaul and tighten the main sheet to create a back stay. Finally, I agree that wind lifting the boat may be an issue. I may need to use a pole between the mast and the houseboat to keep the boat from lifting. Sideways won't work in our houseboat slip due to width constraints.
The storage is just for a few weeks in the Summer during houseboat season. Longer term is mast down in my driveway.
I'm heading to the lake for a week and I'll try a few variations and post a photo or two. If you guys have more ideas put em on here and I'll add them into the "design".
One final comment. They said the Wright Brothers were "Nuts". ;-)[/quote]
