The Boat Cover - My greatest challenge
​ Grey Wolf is a Mariner 31 ketch who lived a few slips down from me. The owner wanted a full cover as the tarps he had been using for many years weren't quite doing the trick. It was the first major project I had ever done. I had no idea what I was doing. It took a month of 15 hour days to complete. What is not visible in the picture is the lacing on the underside of the panels to which the sandbags are attached.
The cover consists of 3 main panels and the transom piece, (with the extended boom cover). Shelter - rite tape was used around the underside of the edges for reinforcement & for added protection where the zippers join. The stanchion boots close with velcro around the top of the boot and shelter - rite tape velcro closures at the base. A webbing strap keeps the bowsprit piece in place.
