Last week I dropped my winter cover off with WYC member Phil to repair a couple of holes from last winter. The centerline of the cover rubbing on the ridge pole is wearing thin. Phil put a 12" wide swath of fabric along the ridge to strengthen it up. Will definately extend the life of the cover.
Got down to the club around 11am: beautiful sunny day!

I got the PVC pipes on the lifelines, then Rita helped me get the frame up.
Secured the individual frames to the toe rail, and lifelines with tie wraps.
Rita and I also:
- Removed the folding wheel
- Removed the princess seats
- Removed the Vbirth cushions to go home
- Washed the black streaks off the hull
- Dropped the anchor/chain/rode to the ground
- Removed whisker pole under boat
- Removed dodger/binini frames
- Hooked up shore power
Phil also suggested adding some protective foam to the ridge:

Then on with the cover:
I had an incident with the front section: while pulling it back, it caught on the ridge pole and poked a hole in the canvas:
Frig the Friggin Frick!
Off with the front section, and dropped it off with Phil who was still at the club.
He will repair it tonight so I can put it back on tomorrow!
