[C320-list] canvas covers

[JBrown5093 at aol.com]

Has anyone had any experience with winter canvas covers? Live in upstate NY  
with heavy snow cover most of the winter. One company, the Canvas Store, has 
one  that they say will handle the load without framing. It goes over the boom 
which  I suppose needs to be braced, and then ties to the stanchions Others 
require a  substantial frame. How long do they last and what care is needed? 
Shrink wrap is  now about $400 and often goes on after the first snows, here as 
early as late  October so it would be an advantage to cover the boat myself.
