I saw a clever system to cover a C&C 37......his mast is out although it
wouldn't make much of a difference if it was in....he took 2" X 4" 's
cut to appropriate lengths and bolted them together at the top and set
the bottoms on the deck on pieces of carpet just touching the
toerail. Because they are bolted, they swing and easily conform to
the required angle. I am guessing but there about 7 to 8 rows approx.
4' apart and are tied together at the top with one continuous piece of
rope ......the further forward is tied to the bow pulpit and aft one to
the stern pushpit. He put used plastic (shrinkwrap) gathered around the
boatyard from previous years on the top of the 2" x 4"'s to protect
against chafe of his tarp. The tarp comes down to just above the
toerail and rather than tying it with grommets, he used golf balls at
the foot of the tarp tied with a slip knot which then ties to the toerail.
I treat myself and have our boat shrinkwrapped (white) which allows me
to go aboard all winter and tinker. I do not have the space to store a
boat cover with frame nor do I have a vehicle which can haul around some
of these elaborate covers with frames.

Okay,
So what do all of you do about winter covers?
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...
