Related but specific to sailboats:
What is best practice (or acceptable practice) for preparing and storing sails for the winter? In the absence of a sail loft I can’t imagine a graceful way to clean dry and fold the sails. Maybe step a mast in the back yard? My sails are all fairly old but in decent shape and I would like to get some more seasons out of them. In all honesty I don’t even have an accurate inventory. There are sails in bags that I have never put my eyes on. I think I can recognize a mylar vs. Kevlar sail but I have one that looks like it is made of silk. Super light weight and fits into a bag less than half the size of the others. Very colorful. Before I pull it out and try to fold it or whatever I should do does anyone have any idea what it might be? Last rookie question (on this post). What is a blooper? I really truly did attempt to find the term on the interwebs without much success.

We're OK. I winterized all the water systems yesterday ahead of this cold spell. Pulled my sails off Sunday and brought home a van load of gear. Just read through a few winterizing checklists and I'm about 90% done. Need to remove the last bit of gear like the wheel and spin pole and electronics and setup the cabin cushions and rig my small tarp to cover the cabintop. I may also wipe down the interior teak w Pinesol to prevent mold and mildew over the winter, and lube or polish a few things to get ahead of spring commissioning? Sad days.
