[Rhodes22-list] Winter cover Re: Last sail?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Rory, We put a tarp on the boat. I've seen advice that says don't 
shrink-wrap a painted boat. Can cause blisters in the paint. Not sure 
if that's from heat or moisture but we've never considered it seriously.

We use a variation on Robert Skinner's PVC supports for a winter cover:

Here's a post I made last year that had pics of the frame for ours attached:

The tarp drapes over the frame and is held in place with a 
combination of ties to the trailer and under the boat. We also use a 
few bottles filled with sand as weights.
