[Public-List] Alberg 30 mast supports and winter cover

[Glenn Brooks]

I used tried and true  blue tarps with plastic zip ties to stitch the edges together. Plastic milk jugs filled with water holds the edges down to cover the rail.  

Never saw a need for saw horses or any kind 2” x4” lumber down the center.  Many better options available. You could string a length of anchor rode or spare dock line pulpit to mast and hang the tarps over that, and the main boom.  Or, just tie off the whisker pole above the fore deck.   The biggest maintenance issue is arranging the tarps so big sumps of winter rainwater  can run off.
