This is a very uncommon case, but it applies to me, so I'll share it. If
you shrinkwrap the boat for the winter, use oil/sealant. Otherwise when
you take the heat gun to the shrink right near the toe rail, it will
strip the varnish, epoxy, cetol, or whatever nice shiny coat you've laid
down.

Cheers,
Kris
