> Does anyone store their boat outside?

Funny you should ask. A co-worker who stored her boat outside had a very unfortunante experience recently. We had a heavy, wet snow. The boat was stored on sawhorses beside the house. As the snow warmed, it slid off the roof onto the boat. The boat was broken completely in half. The boat was a Patuxent 19.5. I am promised that I can see the pictures and send them to this BBS when they are available.
