[C38] Wrapping boat for winter storage on hard - Tyvek? Canvas?Plastic tarp?

[Dick Kilroy]

Marci; Shrink wrap it. Make a frame of electrical coduit atached to the santions, then have it shrink wraped. Its expensive but I am now on my 4th year with the same cover . You can also do the job yourelf buying the gun at Harbor Frieght Tools.

  Another happy New England consideration: snow accumulation over the winter. It's going to be DIY this year. We don't want to do shrink wrap. but the covering needs to be wind resistant, not overly complicated, and slippery so snow won't pile up on it. And what kind of double-faced tape will do the job with a clean removal in the spring? Nothing sticks well to Tyvek but I think it could be the best material to work with otherwise. No doubt we'll need some of those flexible pine strips, and lots of bungee cord (aren't you glad we have slotted toe rails on our C38s?), plus I might use some heavy-duty needles and thread to stitch sections together perhaps...? Please share your opinions and experiences. If you have step by step photos - even better. Thanks in advance!
