Storing splash wings on boat?

[SkaterRace]

I have a 21ft center console boat that I had splash wings made for in the fall. They are great however I have noticed half the time I want them I don't have them since they stay at home laying flat on the guest bed.

How can I store these on the boat in the head compartment? There is 2 wings and a windshield each as different parts (so 3 bags maybe not 1?)

Hmmmm, storage rack on the T top?

UV and heat is not kind to enclosures materials.....
My enclosure stays on the boat from October to late May. When not on the boat, it's rolled up and stored on a shelf in the basement.

To answer your question, the only real concern with rolling them up is scratching the "glass".

A buddy bought some cheap cotton material to separate the panels prior to rolling them up. Stores them in what looks like a long, skinny duffel bag with a draw string.

I saw some people online say that they used beach towels and lawn chair bags? If I did one per part maybe that would be fine?

UV and heat is my concern ideally I'd put it in the console out of the UV/heat instead of leaving them up. Having to bring them with me to the marina all the time and means I don't have them half the time I want them. Sometimes rain comes unexpectedly or the wind is cool and the misses gets cold.

while they are on the spare bed. lay the parts out and place a beach towel between teh 3 pieces - making a big "club sandwich" so to speak. then roll them up and put in one of the folding camp chair bags. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=folding+camp+chair+bag

then secure in your head in the corner.

Beach towels retain moisture. Black mold will result.
A lawn chair bag would suffice if it's long enough

Don't see a reason for 1 per......
All 5 pieces of mine are rolled into a single bundle

Have the opposite problem.......high temps, warm winds and oppressive humidity...... rain and cool-er winds are a welcome relief

What might work other than a beach towel that would be somewhat easy to source?

I'm in souther Ontario (Canada) so this time of year it is still pretty chilly. Water was ~55F last night in the bays.

You don’t want anything heavy. A simple, keep cotton cloth or a bed sheet would work.

Water temps are 68F right now. Will be pushing 90F by August

Mrs.Dingbat starts complaining it’s too hot once air temp rise above 70F…..
