Winterizing Wooden Boat

[Aidan Smith]

Working with a 1953 Blue Streak Utility, wondering the best way to store it for the winter, outside.

I’ve heard many things, but as this is my first winter with the boat, I have no choice but to tarp it.

I will be shrink wrapping it next winter.

My thoughts was to build a frame that not only lets snow slide off, but lets air flow get over the wood to keep it dry.

Any thoughts?
