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. |

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