| Here's my tentative plan... I found an old sailboat mast in the woods behind my house. That's right, a mast. The guy that used to live here threw a lot of junk back there. It is cut down to 25' 11" which is just a little longer than my boat plus motor. I should have a little overhang on each side. I will prop it up there with some 2x4's. Then use rope from the trailer over the top and down to the trailer for my "rafters". Then I will put a big tarp over the whole thing and tie that down to the trailer. This reduces my "wood" expense. The rope "rafters" will follow the same path as the tarp so it should lay right down on it. I think the rope pulled tight will tie it all together. I should be able to do it pretty cheap.

| Nice, we used an old aluminum mast to cove a monomoy surfboat at a school I worked at. Fixtures were made in the bow and stern and a half circle was cut into the top to accept the mast, worked very well. Nice find. | ||

| What I did on my Christmas break.  I finally finished my winter cover frame yesterday and got the cover on. This is the first winter with this boat so I went all out to make it easy to work on projects in the winter under cover. Here are a few pictures of my solution to this sh!ty activity. You can see the one for my old boat above but this one is 10 times better. I can actually stand up in the cockpit.  Everything is reuseable.       | ||
