[Rhodes22-list] Boat Covers - Art, Robert, Ron

[DCLewis1 at aol.com]

Art,
 
I look forward to seeing your rig one of these days.  In the interim,  I'm 
not sure.  As I understand it, the BR has a flat roof.  We  can easily get 12 to 
18" of snow plus ice, and that can be a fair amount of  weight.  I suspect we 
need the kind of pitch Ron and Robert have with  their structures for any 
sort of winter cover.  I could be wrong.
 
Also, we have high winds - we've had gusts to 50 kts several times this  past 
winter.  I'm not sure I'd want to leave a BR up over the winter as a  cover, 
it might get blown away.
 
As for using the BR as a cover in the summer, I think something that could  
be set up and taken down in less than 1 or 2 minutes would be ideal.
 
None of the above says a BR is not a great idea - but it may not be an  ideal 
boat cover.  
 
JMO
 
Dave
