: I plan to store (in unheated garage) my partially finished Night
: Heron High Deck strip kit until spring. I'll get as far as
: completing hull and deck stripping - leaving sanding, glassing,
: and finish work undone. I will leave everything stapled to the
: forms during storage. Since this is my first boat building
: adventure, I'd like to know if if I'm stepping off a cliff,
: missing something, or any precautions I should take.

: I live in Central NY - winters are cold.

: Thanks in advance,

: Sherm
Too, make sure that the moisture won't warp your strongback.... that'd be a disaster.... I'd build the hull, fair and sand it, and glass it inside and out.... then stop
