Lightbulb No Trailer?

Canoes, kayaks and rowboats which have no trailers can benefit from a Florida hurricane trick—which is to partially fill the boat with water. This weighs the boat against blowing away. Even trailered boats can benefit, should local winds be stronger than predicted.

Heavy rains could add too much water, so positioning the boat (or transom drain) to allow overflowing will prevent possible structural damage.
