> A trick I came up with that works well.  I fashion a 'ring' of dock line
that encircles the keel.  I can then fasten the line from the tarp grommets
to any point along this line to hold the tarp tight. I start at amidships
and fasten the tarp toward the bow and stern a little at a time alternating
sides.  I use a single line lacing method and use much less line for the
tarp than fastening down to the trailer. I starded doing this the first year
on the hard because I was resting on keel and stands and didn't want to tie
the tarp off to the stands.The one flaw is that if either line fails then
the whole mess could unravel and blow off.  This has never happened as of
yet.  Homerun individual lines would eliminate this situation but take
considerably more time to install. Forward of the keel and aft of the rudder
post I fasten the tarp to itself.
