[Rhodes22-list] Winter Cover ideas

[Art Czerwonky s/v MaryJane]

Dave,
I appreciates the input, my friend.  I know that NE winter storm will tear a tarp to shreads before having any impact at all on the Sunbrella, the fabric is just much tougher. Then consider the probable damage to a top notch boat after the tarp shreads and the boat investment is unprotected from the rest of the storm.  No comparison in storm resistance.  Also consider when you saw a tarp zippered and with velcro for stability, then lashed to the trailer thru 3x the # of gromets.  There is simply no contest, especially with a R22 at stake.

You may be thinking the side is like the BR material. It is fully hemmed and reinforced Sunbrella material - the very best.

Best to you,

Arthur

I guess my quick reaction is that's awfully nice material to leave out for the elements of a Northeastern winter when a tarp will do. Also, a lot of windage for a rough winter storm. If I were in your neck of the woods I might feel differently.

> Food for thought on winter covers with mast up.  I am developing a BR design which will double as a framed winter cover, providing greater resistance to rain and snow in storage.  The side curtains would be Sunbrella, preferably in dark blue for absorbing heat.  Input from a number of skippers has been reflected in many wanted and now current BR features,  so any thoughts on this?
