I have just closed on the purchase of a Riviera 28, and I am arranging for the boat to be trailered 4.5 hours to my home. I will have it trailered to the destination marina in spring, and will winterize and have it shrink wrapped here for the winter. The transporter is going to assist and supervise the blocking.
I realize that the boat cannot be trailered at highway speeds with canvas up and flying. But what if it rains on the day? Any suggestions about what precautions should be taken in that case? Are there scuppers that will drain the water in the cockpit, which is open to the skies? I am planning to use gorilla tape to secure heavy duty plastic sheeting around and over the helm area and panel - any other suggestions?
