One around the mast sounds like good medicine for hurricane-proofing; that may seem melodramatic, but we actually do get those here. One of them was named Sandy. It made something of an impression on me, since we had to find a new place to live after that one…. but really, any storm that necessitate a dumpster will get your attention.
I ’m actually now sitting here pondering how we might be able to use some dock lines led back to the winches to provide some triple-redundancy… or more
Not something that you need all of the time, of course, but maybe one of those things that are worth doing when you know that a big blow is headed your way?
