I covered my boat today. Simple frame, good tarp laced up underneath like a big football.
We do this as a group of about six people who all think the expense of shrink wrapping is insane. It’s a well polished routine by now.
Unfortunately today there were only 4 of us and a 30 mph wind that made this a real blast.
We finish, go to another marina to do another before the rain starts when I get a call from the marina I just left.
The woman tells me that I have to come back immediately because I have some ropes tied to the jack stands.
The reason is that if the wind gets under the tarp it could lift the boat up and knock it off the stands.
Like I said, I’m no physicist, but a 17,000 pound boat is not blowing up in the air like the Wizard of Oz...tarp or no tarp.
A ploy to encourage me the shrink wrap next season or just plain foolishness?
