I've taken off all the rigging and wanted to know how you guys store your shrouds. I have them coiled right now in a bag, and though there are no knots or harmful twists, I am worried that keeping them coiled all winter will misshape them.

Is there a general rule for this? Should I keep them spread out straight in the garage rafters?

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

the life of your shroud

Hobie cuts to lenght
makes up the ends
coils it up
puts it in inventory
ships to dealer
hung on wall
delivered to customer

other than being made its entire life, until arriving to you is spent coiled up, about 1 foot in diameter, it will not hurt it at all. I'd be willing to guess some shrouds are coiled for well over 1 year before they ever reach the consumer.

That's what I figured. I just wanted to ask the pros.
They are neatly coiled in a coil with about 1.5 foot diameter. They should be good.
