[quote=Edchris177]If you’re not going to use the boat, take the mast down!
It takes very little effort, & saves the rigging, & the attachment points.
Remember, metal suffers from fatigue. It’s difficult to secure the mast so that it never moves, & even if you can, the shrouds are still subject to oscillating loads.
This creates fatigue in metal parts, which is detrimental to useful life.[/quote]
