Wrapping the boat in shrinkwrap can cause chafing which allows for contaminants. Therefore,\u00a0 shrinkwrap is only taken to the sheer line. The problem is, how to finish and attach the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>For boats with a screwed on metal rubrail (SS-brass) like <em>Lime\u2019n<\/em>, our Morgan 38,\u00a0 I slackened the rubrail screws, inserted wire ties then tightened the screws, not a big job. The shrinkwrap installer was then able to attach the bottom line and finish the shrinkwrap neatly at the sheer line and stop rain and snow getting on the decks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-11724\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4481.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"377\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4481.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4481-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_4481-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 377px) 100vw, 377px\" \/>Works like a charm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take care when covering your boat with shrinkwrap &nbsp; Its difficult for dirt and grease to adhere to Awlgrip but over time a buildup of dirt [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9192239,"featured_media":11720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[1017,66,1016,1019,1015,1018],"class_list":["post-11716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seamanship","tag-awlgrip","tag-maintenance","tag-shrinkwrap","tag-tarps","tag-tony-knowles","tag-winter-maintenance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9192239"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11716"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11716\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11725,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11716\/revisions\/11725"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bwsailing.com\/bw\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
