I don't know about you but my door Leaks like a Sieve! I have brand new canvas on the front windows and I'm leaving it up!!!

I'm going to angle my antennas back...
Is it OK to leave a cockpit cover on? There is some "give" to it, and it flaps during high winds.
Boats are waterproof, or should be anyway. Remove the canvas, it will not withstand 75 or 80 MPH winds with gusts higher than that and with water pounding it from the hurricane. Not only will you destroy your canvas, the frame will be torn off as well.
My cover stays on on the bridge...My cockpit will come off if it will blow over 50 knots.............My bow will be into the wind......If my stern was in the wind, I would turn my boat around so the bow faces the wind.........Eisenglass is pretty strong in winds vs canvas
So I am still trying to decide...
1. Should I have the boat pulled and blocked? I am reasonably sure (will check) my insurance covers that 100%. Can 80mph winds blow it over?
Dont forget, the wind will be from north, northeast.........Thats due to spin and rotation of hurricane
The winds have less than a 10% probability to be over 50 KTS now in yours and my locations, so the cockpit cover should be fine...
Rod,
Glad to see you guys made it back well from the trip! Don't get fooled by those probability charts as they change daily as the storm moves closer, unless something significant changes in this weather pattern you WILL definitely have some wind in excess of 50kts...
