[Rhodes22-list] R-22 winter cover

    Jerry,
If you add another dimension to that you can have it convert into a nice boomroom easily.  Instead of the wood beam, the mast works very well also, supported at the step in a similar way to minimize flex.
What fabric was used for yours?
Best to you,

In a word, no. I made a beam out of 2 x4 s that runs between the bow andstern rail, with a support post that drops down and rests on the maststep. The beam gives the cover enough height to allow a good angle down,and the bolt rope sewn inside the bottom of the cover, keeps it secured,along with seven tie- downs, the cover can't ride up and loosen enough toform pockets for water to pool. Snow is another story, but we haven't hadenough for me to be worried. The amishman that made it is at least secondgeneration canvas worker,training the third generation. When I dropped myboat off there were three boats waiting their turn for a fitting, and fourwaiting when I went to pick it up. I had him repair my pop- topenclosure,make a new cover for my Bimini ,and sew up my wife's purse,so Itrusted him,and wasn't disappointed.Jerry LoweS/ V Country RhodesGreat price and it looks nice.
