	I am planning to have my 370 pulled from the water for the winter for several upgrades. I have heard a rumor that due to the Epoxy Hull, more Blocks are necessary to distribute the load for the Hull then a conventional Fiberglass Hull. Had anyone had any experience here or heard something similar? Mike Stella Maris

	Hi Mike, The Swedish dealer has a recommendation on his web site http://www.bryggan.net/index2.asp?typeId=1 in line with what you've heard: Noteras bör att ett epoxiskrov bör under vintertid pallas upp med bredare stöttor. Epoxins hårdhet gör att materialet är känsligare för punktbelastning (inte så segt som traditionell glasfiber) och stöttorna bör vara breda och försedda med en mjukare anläggningsyta. Unfortunately this is in Swedish, but I've translated it below: One should observe that an epoxy hull should be supported by wider blocks during winter storage. The epoxy's stiffness is more sensible to point loads (not as ductile as traditional fibre glass [polyester]) and the supports should be wide and equipped with softer pads.
