[Alberg30] Winter Cover

[Brian Palmer]

All who might be interested,

I put some photos and notes online about the winter cover I made for our
Alberg.  It seems to be pretty effective, and gives plenty of headroom
for working on the deck.  The construction is simple, made of 2x3s and a
portion of a 20'x100'roll of 6mil plastic from Home Depot.  Hope the
notes are useful :)

Bill ...  A few weeks ago I bought enough PVC and connectors ($25) and a
20x30 silver tarp at Harbor Freight ($28 .. the tarp was on sale).  I
put the framework together and covered it with the tarp leaving the ends
open enough for air circulation. The boat is on the trailer. It has
remained as dry an a bone. I have the mast and life line stanchions
removed (not the stanchion bases) I have enough room under the tarp to
move around on deck on hands and knees. Have you considered something
like this?
