WyattC (CP16) is once again in the garage for the winter after sailing northern Door County, WI. What I learned while laying up? The "Works" is a cheap great bottom cleaner, spray wax put a great extra wax coat on the hull for winter, a rubber sheave will hold a small motor (Tohatsu 4) from unwanted rotation, Sikkens Cetrol is a better wood protector than varnish, IDA rudders WORK but need bottom paint to avoid "green" growth, and Downy sheets help prevent spider invasions.
The best news is; all of these tips came from the Com-Pac Yacht Owners Association forum. Thanks everyone.

Gerry. Good that all seems well with you and the boat. I have not sailed Door County but it is on my list to take my Eclipse to. I noticed the statement "a rubber sheave will hold a small motor (Tohatsu 4) from unwanted rotation". hmm My Nissan (Tahatsu 4) will turn especially at low idle speed. Can I get you to expand on your statement? Thanks in advance.
