Having decided to put the St. Lawrence Boatworks Co. 'WhistleWing' aside for some time, I'm interested in hearing opinions about long-term storage methods that will not result in damage, i.e. hogging, sagging, flattening of the hull shape, etc. I have sling-type stands, sawhorses, rigid wall racks for upside-down storage. I had the thought that suspending the canoe in an upright position from slings attached to the ends of the quarter thwarts might preserve the hull curvature. This would place the weight on the center 8' of the hull at four locations of the inwales (which are solid at these locations). It would leave 5' of hull unsupported at the ends, although the ends could be supported with additional slings from above.
