Suggestions: Windsurfing storage for garden shed
Tim_nitram_junk@Yahoo.Com 22 March 2005 02:46:30
	Hi all, I am in the middle of building a backyard garden shed, which will become more like my gear storage shed. Any suggestions on how to store my stuff? I was thinkin' of having dowels that come out from the walls for the boards, that seems to be the easy part. The tougher question is how to store the sails so that they are easily grabbed, easy to find, and don't collect water. My first thought was a sail corral type deal where they'd sit on end in a pen. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! -Tim

	Here is what I do...it's very basic. Boards: Hang on the wall with two ladder hooks. Bungee makes sure they don't fall off, but they are stable without it. Masts: Surprise surprise. 2 ladder hooks. Each set of ladder hooks holds several masts in their bags. No need for any retaining device. Booms: Can you guess? Actually, it's a bicycle hook. Booms hanging straight down. I have these hanging over the boards. Just make sure you hang them from a plastic part, not the grip part. Additional boards are stored against the wall, using 2 pieces of 2x4 under them just to stabilize them. Sails: Not kidding, I just throw them on the floor next to the boards. I think standing on ends can cause problems with the sails. I have not have any problems with water. If I did, I'd probably just throw down some drydeck or something under the area where I throw the sails. Box o' stuff goes next to the sails and kind of keeps the whole thing contained to one half of the garage. The nice thing about this setup is that everything is in the same orientation as it goes into the van (except the booms). I just back the van up to the garage, open the doors, and slide all the gear in. Since I always take everything, I don't mind having the gear in such a way that you have to move the box to get to the sails, have to move the sails to get to the boards and booms, and have to move the booms to get to the boards.

	I found that with all the other junk in my garage I needed to maximize space, so I used cheap aluminum ladder hooks, bent them straight, and attached them to the wall about a foot apart. I slid pipe sponge wrap over them, put some thick carpet scraps down, and fit the boards in upright. My booms are next to them, using hooks. The sails and masts lean against the wall on carpet, never had a problem, plus the water drains out. Storing them vertically saves space, provided your shed height is sufficient. Come to think of it, though, most sheds aren't that tall, are they... tim_nitram_junk@yahoo.com wrote:> Hi all,> I am in the middle of building a backyard garden shed, which will> become more like my gear storage shed.

	Stored my stuff in a shed for years. Any sort of rack system will do. Mine first was recycled teak from a fishing platform. Lasted about 18 years. Recently a constructed a rack from Home Depot plumbing pipe and fittings. The steel pipes screw into the elbows at 90 degrees. Very strong and a total bargain given the lack of labor involved. I had good luck with a 2x4 extending horizontally for a boom rack. The boom heads were at the top. Water drained OK. The key is ventilation, as heat will kill your boards. Lots of vents are the minimum in the summer. Perhaps install an overhang over one of the windows (if you got em) or anything to increase air flow. Don't underestimate the power of heat to delam your favorite board. Dry and cool, that's the ticket. -Dan "D.

	If you have enough height, store everything vertically and save footprint that way. Dowels coming out of the a 2x4 attached to the wall just above head height (so you don't poke yourself on them) carpet underneath. Be sure to have sails standing with the sleeves down; clew down will cause wrinkling of monofilm - with sails, though, laying them down so they're all the way supported would be preferable. All that said - the only stuff I store in my garage is my wife's gear, along with some old stuff I haven't sold for some reason or another. Everything else lives in the van. If I couldn't do the van, I'd at least do the trailer. Seems like the critical component is always time, especially if you're at the mercy of frontal systems and can't plan your sailing sessions in advance (as you might be able to do in very reliable places like Maui in the summer). So the benefit of never having to spend time on loading gear or making an extra trip home from work (plus the chance of forgetting that vital piece of equipment) is pretty powerful. Andreas

	Andreas, I've been worried a little that if I store the sails flat they might get creases in the monofilm, especially if I have to pile sails on top of each other (which I would have to do in my garage.) So in my garage all winter I store them upright (clew up, of course) and have never noticed any problem. But in my mini-van I have to lay them flat and on top of each other if I'm going to fit all eight of them in... I do notice some deformity in the less well-used sails but so far no actual damage. The deformity is that the monofilm seems to remember a somewhat flattened shape, so I try to roll the sail up tighter after use. Any thoughts?

	Timing is everything, that is true. My stuff mostly lives on top of my car all spring summer and fall. In the winter I have the sad ceremony of taking the gear down off the car and putting it in storage. It's gettin' to be that time again when the car get's loaded up.

	Hey Cliff, I've been thinkin' about gettin' a mini-van, how is it for windsurfing? It seems like the perfect activity mobile. Better milage then a van or SUV, plenty of space, and if you get a 4x4 model, you're stylin' for ski trips. The only issue is not being mistaken for a soccer mom/dad. Maybe some flames on the hood will take care of that. ;) -Tim

Then they complained of the bad smell from wet gear inside. Had to go to a pickup after that. You can also change clothes inside very easily.

	I like it a lot. I got front-wheel drive rather than AWD and have never had a problem in snow although I do have to put on chains. Mine is a Chrysler Town & Country. I have 2 boards on the roof (slalom and wave). Inside I have 8 sails (including 3 monster Formula sails), 5 masts (430, 460, 490, 520, 550), 4 booms, a Formula board, and all the other assorted gear. The long masts and sails project up between the driver and passenger seat, as well as the clew end of the largest boom. In this configuration I can carry two passengers. I don't give a hoot about being mistaken for a soccer mom.

	d00d!!! That is one serious shed. My problem is that I usually just don't take the time to build things this well. I'd rather take the time sailing or playing with the kids. Still, that is one of the most functional and nicest looking sheds I've ever seen.

You've got nothin on me Paul. I've been out since September with what I thought was a torn labrum (turned out I tore some muscle off my scapula). Still not OK to sail, aiming for late May.
