[C320-list] Cost for Winter Cover

[Warren Updike]

We purchased an 18' x 24' tarp for about $80. We use a PVC frame over the
boom and tie the cover with small stuff around the hull. We terminate it at
the mast and use a separate piece flat over the bow. The tarp is split at
stanchions and shrouds, then sealed with 3M #8979 duct tape (it pulls off in
spring with no residue.) Yes, it does take us a bit more time to put it on;
but, we're retired. What else do we have to do with our time? The last
tarp/cover we had lasted 8 years. It didn't owe us a dime.

Sign us: retired, frugal, and happy with our cover,
Warren & Pattie Updike

We purchased ours from Fairclough in CT.  Full canvas cover mast up perfect
fit around 3 grand.
