Does anybody know if it's OK to store a Buzz vertically on its side over the winter? |

Try my dads method, you don't need a arm (or a leg for that matter)

Any story as to how you break your middle finger?

Very suttle Dave!! I like that answer!!
But otherwise all the other replies had a good point . . .
To answer your question though, i dont know of anyone who has stored their boat in that way.
I assume you mean on either the port or starboard side? I think any way should be ok if completely drained of water first. Assuming indoors leaving the bouyancy hatch out so that air can circulate will also help.
Hope the finger gets better soon . . .

Thanks Stu for the adult answer.
As for the finger. It was a sailing injury.
I'd like to be able to say that I fell off the boat whilst hitting 20 knots at the downwind mark in a force 6. Unfortunately I actually fell off the jetty into a stationary boat before the race had even started.
Should be fixed by March/April. |

Now that's funny Dave!
Nearly as ridiculous as me falling one foot off of an indoor rowing maching and breaking my arm!
