I was in the marina yesterday and saw what I thought was a boat docked
in the water with that white shrink wrap material on it. It turned out
to be plain old poly tarp on really really tight using some small C
clamps somhow attached to the sides of the hull. Does anybody know
where I can find such clamps and how they work?

Thanks for response - kinda cool. Not exactly what I saw, the boat
cover clips / fasciners were metalic. I know they were metal cause
they were rusting - these appear to be plastic / PVC ... even better.
Is this your site / company?
or did you buy these? They appear to be custom made. Kind of expensive
for just clamps, but I guess if they work with poly waterproof tarp
without ripping or tearing it - they are worth the money. I don't
like canvas boat covers they fade, leak and need to be replaced too
often for the $$$.

Will try Home Depot and and West Marine before I order them from what
looks like a small manufacturer.

Yes, get a small piece of PVC pipe at the local hardware store cut it
into rings and split them down one side like the guy who answered your
post with the website link. Too funny, the guy cut up 50 cents worth
of PCV and is trying to sell it for $30!
