Re: Homemade boat cover bows / poles
I saw a feller use plastic saw horses. Set them on the deck and covered the boat with a tarp. I liked the PVC idea however; it's a lot less money. Good plan Captain! Thanks for sharing. [links]
I made some PVC bows for my jon boat in order to tent the cover up so the rain doesn't pool. this design works really well, and is very easy to make, as well as inexpensive. thought I'd share it with other folks. I made a you tube video on how to make it. see link below.
While many boat owners are consumed with the annual task of hauling and storing their vessels for the winter, others are prepping for the cold months by turning theirs into a stationary den. I liveaboard in the snowbound Northeast, where most liveaboards cover their decks by erecting a temporary structure to be wrapped in heat-shrinkable plastic sheeting. Such a shrink-wrapped cover adds a layer of protection and comfort for the ship and her crew by helping to shed rain and snow, reduce condensation and provide passive solar heat during the day.
Watertightness: Unstepping the mast was a critical part of making my frame easy to cover and completely watertight. It was also critical for positioning a work bench over the mast pulpits. If you’re not setting up an on-deck work station, you may well want to leave the mast in place, in which case you’ll have to design your frame around it. [links]
Last winter I decided to build a seasonally reusable structure that offers plentiful space to do the only thing I love more than sailing—boat work. Here are the steps I took, from conception to realization, in making a functional winter boat shop under the shrink-wrapped shelter on my Tayana 42, Eclipse 1. Even if you don’t want an onboard workshop, this frame concept will work for just about any boat.
