Strip: Leaving an unfinished boat

Looks like my work may take me away from home until next summer. I am building a guillemot L, and have the stripping done, but don't expect to be able to do much more before I need to leave.

It would probably be a mistake to begin fiberglassing if I can't finish it in a reasonably timely manner, but would like to be able to sand it if possible.

I'm thinking that I can leave the boat on the form, wrapped in plastic (saran) wrap, and tightly taped, then unwrap it when I return next summer. I didn't use staples, so the wrapping seems necessary. Any thoughts?
