Hi Frank,
That is what I hope to do after our winter cruise (Christmas time). A
few details please:
* was each PVC pipe arch a single length?.. if not which connector used
* what spacing between bows?
* boom for arch support? anything used for foredeck arch support?
* did you get much snow that year? my area suffers at least twice
what your location most years
(we get cold interior air outflow from Howe Sound that dump
snow on us.. a mini "lake effect" that the TO guys know about).
Cheers, Russ

That's what I did three winters ago. Used 1" thick walled PVC pipe
and HD poly tarps. Covered the whole boat for about six months (Nov
-Apr) while I refinished the decks. Worked well.

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).

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...
