What has been the experience with PVC pipe frames? Calypso is in the PNW where more than a few inches of snow is rare. I will be erecting a cover to allow some deck work this winter. I am considering PVC pipe frames and high quality tarps as the best compromise between cost and longevity (1 to 2 PNW Nov to March seasons).

I've used tarps previously but they are a bit of a pain and not that cheap. I made a frame out of 1"x4" PVC trim. I bowed them from toe rail to tow rail and it worked okay. I'd love to have something a bit better but I just got 2 prices for a custom cove. The place that made my sails wants $4200 with the frame and the Faiclough wants $2900 with the frame. WAY more than I wanted to spend. I spoke to a guy at the Boston Boat show back in January or February and he said it would be about $1800. That price I can tolerate but I forgot the name of that company... Danny Lolita 1973 Viking 33 Westport Point, MA
