25 years ago, I built a box similar to that - it's still on my trailer going strong.

It's required a fair bit of maintenance along the way.

A sail box endures some of the worst conditions you can imagine. High winds, driving rain, lots of UV exposure, dirt, soot, flying objects (rocks), vibration, you name it. All we ask that it keep $1000's of dollars of sails and equipment dry and clean.

It's a tough mission statement. Bright finished wood looks cool, but not for long. At least not without a s**tload of maintenance.
