I would be intrested in comments about leaving my P21 in the water this winter,on an inland dyke which potentially could freeze over.

Previously the boat has been lifted out.I would anyway remove Sails,Batt,Cushions and O/B.

Thanks

As a one off I can't think of any problems, moving ice can cause hull damaged but it would need to be very extreme to crush the hull!
Long term continuous immersion in water, fresh is said to be worse than fresh, can cause osmosis problems.
Security can be another issue, is the dyke accessable, could the boat be liable for break-ins and damage if not theft?

ss26 rascal, out of the water each winter.

Thanks Philip. I asked the Insurers and they say if the boat comes out of the water every other year i should be Ok with Osmosis.

The only thing I'm concerned about is Ice.
