My skerry is out in the yard, on horses and bottom up. I would like to protect it from the elements til April and have purchased a large tarp. Will draping the tarp directly over the boat harm the boat or should the tarp be suspended on some sort of a frame ?..I am thinking trapped moisture but perhaps on a finished hull (painted) this is of no concern...thanks...tomc

RE: Outdoor storeage/tarp
I store mine under the eaves with a tarp covering it where the Yak sticks out, the yak is wider than the eaves. I have had to replace the cheap tarp about every two years.
I would suggest proping the tarp up off of the boat, maybe as simple as a couple of boards across the boat with the tarp drapped over.
RE: Outdoor storeage/tarp
Mine spent all winter under a blue tarp and the only issue I've had were tarp marks in the paint on the bow (probably from before the paint had cured enough).

Last winter the finish on the bottom my Wherry (Interlux) was discolored where the poly tarp came in contact with the paint. There doesn't seem to be a problem with paint-to-wood adheasion, just looks bad. The boat is getting repainted this winter and I will avoid plastic to paint contact in the future.
