First snow

[Pirate Lady]

Anyone besides me worried if their cockpit cover can handle this heavy wet snow?
Cant get to marina til Wednesday.

If u got poles under it, it should be fine, mine has 3 poles, one by the helm, and two in the cockpit.

Northern and central Jersey dodged this system, so we got lucky.

I got an unusual amount last week at just over a foot. Very wet snow. I couldn't get out to get any poles up and the snow ended up sliding off the canvas just fine. Rain the next day took care of the majority of it. Got my cover on and everything secured now.

Canvas holding fine. Sometime this summer I taken to my canvas guy and have all the seams double stitched so next year I got no worries

Switched to indoor years ago and will never go back. No more trips to the marina after every storm.

Yeah until the weight rips the canvas around the poles. Had to repair canvas multiple times when the support rips.

Fortunately whoever made this cover did a great job, stitched leather at all pressure points, across top and corners of windshield, and where the poles support.
Very impressive work.

Someone has to say it, so I will: This is why I shrink wrap instead of using the cockpit cover. Visited the boat yesterday, between snows. Had some snow on the swim platform. But zero snow on the boat itself.
