Does anyone have a good method to build the support for a winter tarp for a 28mkII?

This ad was on the swap meet portion of the Lake Michigan Catalina Associations web site. I cut and pasted it here for you to follow up on. Good luck. Is it snowing in Wisconsin already?!SteveWINTER COVER for Catalina 28. Canvas with wooden support frame. Is in great shape, 3 years old. Was custom made for a 1997 MKII Catalina 28. Also cockpit table, binocular and drink holder that snap on. These are made of Starboard. Cover is $550.00.

do you want a mast up or a mast down cover??Mast down are easy ,you use 3/4" pvc pipe and make a bow simular to a covered wagon bow, place them @ 2 ft apart add a t to the to[p center and a drop tube to that will sit on the mast, secure the t & drop tube to the mast with tape ( I like the plastic cleat wrap,no glue )then run a line from for to aft tieing each of the bows to the line to prevent them from tipping. Cover with poly tarp (lighter) and overlap sides below rubrail. The plastic bows allow the cover to flex some and with a 6" height in the cockpit the snow slides off the poly. Mast up its a mess.. good luck
