[C320-list] canvas covers

[Marty Mattler]

Jim,
I purchased a winter cover from the canvas store in 2000. It is designed to
cover the deck and cockpit. It is easy to install by myself. Sailscall
(#754) is in Stamford, CT and the snowfall is probably less than in upstate
NY. We did have a 20-inch storm in Feb and did not cause any problem to the
cover. The cover requires no maintenance. Good luck!

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.
