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

[Ann Boochever]

BTW, if you¹re not familiar with it, reinforced visqueen has a network of
very strong fibers imbedded in it. In SE AK it costs about $125 a roll,
which is enough for two sets of fore and aft covers. Each set lasts at least
two seasons before UV light degrades the visqueen. Plain visqueen won¹t do
at all.
