Re: Fitted winter covers
For express cruisers I used cockpit covers. For my 355 I do as my grandfather taught me. Leave the canvas up, place some reinforcing supports under the frame tubes for snow and good to go. It may take a few years off your canvas, but with the $ saved you can replace the canvas every 4 of 5 years and break even.

Tom you are very lucky to be able to do it that way.....up here it is just not an option with glass boats, too much snow load and temps that go from -25C to +5C then back to -10C in a matter of days. There used to be quite a discussion with all the sailors as to whether to cover or not and if there was any benefit, that was on Lake Ontario where it is considerably more moderate temp wise.The damage up here would be considerable.Guy beside me has a steel trawler that he does nothing with,I envy him........

Lest we not forget that a bottle of Good old Canadian Rye Whisky is more expensive here in Ontario than it is in Florida......... Taxes
