Patricia, I had a cover made by the Quinte Canvas on my C&C 24. After a while, the fabric got old and disintegrated in a few places. I kept the metal frame and used a big, heavy duty, marine tarp. I don’t remember the dimensions, but it was probably 30’ x 24’. You need a few feet extra on the bow and stern. For the width, you need the beam plus 2 times the height of the highest support. This should give you enough canvas to drop well below the deck to hull joint. Then you have to find the tarp that is the right size (probably a bit larger). If it is too wide, it would be dragging on the sides. For your boat, I would go for something like 45’ long (at least) and about 30’ wide.
The tarp like that should not cost more than around $500-$600, I think. Though, the larger tarps might cost more. Just checked and our local Chandlery sells a 30 x 48 tarp for USD $525 ($700 CAD). Of course a custom made cover is so much nicer.

I still have the frame, however, I had to throw the cover out as it had rotted due to a leaking roof where it was stored. (I wish they had told us.) The frame is metal pipe. I have four clamps to support the frame. I don't know if I should have more?? I want to cover the boat. I would like to either buy a used cover or a tarp to put over the frame but I do not know the dimensions of the original cover or who made it so I could call and ask. My husband passed. He would have known. Can anyone help me? Thank you. Patricia
