Bow cover for the Tolman
 

I wanted some sort of tent type cover for sleeping under on my 20'
Tolman. I want to eventually connect it to the bimini via clear
vinyl. I bought some 1/4" fiberglass poles from Mcmaster-Carr and
drilled holes on either gunnel they would slide into and bent them to
form an arch. Then, I took some white polytarp and sewed some sleeves
to accept those poles. It works pretty dang good. I need to sew the
clear vinyl next and put on snaps to make it fasten tot eh bimini. If
all this works, i will eventually order Sunbrella to make a permanent
version.

Why would you *want* to sleep on that boat, anyway?

For the same reason I sleep in a backpacking tent on camping trips.

You like to feed the mosquitoes?

It will have snap on screens just like my sailboat.

Some people have interests other than what you do.

Ignore WAFA - he is only here to "watch"/antagonize/instigate...

For some ppl it would be a good question. I go to some odd places
where there are no accomodations so that is why I am doing this.

Absolutely. For us boodocking is half the fun of cruising although
we've come to enjoy a few creature comforts along the way. :-)

We spend less than 10% of our time at marinas when cruising.

Your BJ buddie comes in with two stupid comments in a boating thread,
and you are complaining about DK telling the OP to ignore him.. Guess
we know why you are here too.
