Re: Green Peinert outside rack ?

I realize I am making a suggestion that I cannot actually do (because I don't have the skills, and because I am currently sidelined with a sore rib)--but at my last rowing club, we built a little roof over the outdoor racks to protect from UV rays, falling branches, hail, and the like. Buying lots of boat covers is far more expensive., as is letting the boats deteriorate.

They do prevent UV damage and extend life of boats. Just info Always good to be near the water together!! J ?
YRC ? ? ? ? ? ? I used to think we needed a cover for every boat outside. But since the Green Peinert 25 will be under the Peinert 26 ( Blue ) it would not get much sun each day. Same for any boat beneath the covered Fluid Design Double. Our rack is pretty well protected except the topmost boats. Our Peinert 26 looks just fine, but yes, UVA and UVB do a job on hulls and human skin.

Covers for outside boats is a great reminder that the killer for these boats is UV.
