    What a coincidence seeing your vid this morning. I am covering my 21 foot Sirius today. Don’t think I will work on it under the tarp, my nerves would not take the noise. I am glad you showed taking the winch apart as I may need to do mine soon.
    Cheers

    I just tarped my C&C 25 using a 2X4 ‘spine’ and 3/4” PVC water pipe ‘ribs’ tied to the rail. The spine is supported by wooden stanchions. Good luck this winter!

    I used the same one in Oakville for three seasons. It will chafe in your current set up. I used a frame similar in pitch to your other boat and used lots of noodles to prevent wear and tear. I shrink rapped this year. I still have many noodles left over if you need. Let me know. I’m in Mississauga.

    Anxious to see your new main. I had a great quote for my 30 mkII but got cold feet.

      I said I wouldn’t do any more sailing vids until spring but I’ll definitely do one in February to show off the new main when it comes! Thanks for watching!

    You need better frame for this tarp cover, at list similar to your old boat.

      I've been using ropes to create the ribs: it was a good opportunity for me and my kids to practice various types of knots! As long as the tarp is fairly straight (it doesn't gather a bunch of water and then ice) it should last at least 2-3 years. And you can probably find cheaper tarp on sale at Princess Auto (or similar stores).
