Shrink wrap for winter storage

[Marty4831]

Any of you in the northern part of the country use shrink wrap to store your boat for the winter? Any helpful tips on what works best? Do you use the mast to support the wrap? Just lost my $250 inside winter storage after 25 years.  
Thanks,

Anyone in the northern states use shrink wrap for winter storage? Do you use the mast for wrap support? Any issues that I should know? 
I’ve just lost my $250 a year inside storage after 25 years. Need a new plan.

My boat lives on its trailer under a “trailing/mooring cover” from the Sailors Tailor.  They advertise in Scots&Water.  In the summer my boat is at the boatyard of a nearby yacht club, parked close to their boat ramp, with the mast up;  in the winter she lives in my own yard, with the mast down, which supports the cover and creates a nicely sloped “roof”.  Enough tiedowns to be quite secure.  I am on my 2nd cover — I got about 15 years out of the first one.  Thus, quite economical.   Hope this helps!
