I have a cover from Fairclough that uses the boom (aft) and a halyard (forward) for support. It works fine for keeping snow off the boat and ice out of the cockpit, generally protecting the deck, and minimizing leaks. Fine dirt blows in, but I'd wash the deck in the spring anyway. I use a retired halyard to support the boom and an old piece of inexpensive line for the forward part, and that's worked fine for several winters. I think I paid $1750 at the Chicago boat show several years ago.

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
