I'm considering building/restoring something in the 12'-15' range, and I would, in all probability, mostly lake-sail it. (Currently, I have a 17' 'glass daysailer that I keep on a local lake here in Connecticut.) What's the story on mooring a non-glassed woodie in fresh water for the season? Some tell me that salt would need to be sprinkled in the bilge to prevent the onset of rot, others say not to worry because the seasonal mooring would only be for three to four months (there's a 20' wooden cat on the same lake, but I haven't been able to find out how its owner handles that).
I'm new to this so any input appreciated.
Ed
