I just (this morning) ordered a boom tent from Miller Marine Canvas in Milford, CT. It will come with flaps that just cover the toe rail, sort of in between the regular boom tent and the 12" skirt. Like Jonathan, I don't want anything on the Awlgrip.
I have used home made frames and tarps and shrink wrap before. The frames worked fine, and I got about three years out of the tarps, with ever increasing amounts of tape. Shrink wrap has also worked well for me in the past, but is expensive where yards don't allow competition (~3-4 years would be equivalent to a cover), and you're reliant on someone else rather than DIY.
