Mine looks just the same, though I don't tie down the mast - I just bolt it to the mast crutch.RussMT wrote:This is not my boat, but I got this from somewhere on this site and this is what I'm gonna do this year. Bend the PVC pipe into an upside down U and attach them to the stanchions. It looks like a great way to keep rain and snow from building up.

The snow slides off under some, but not all, conditions. I usually broom it off after each decent storm, so weight doesn't accumulate.
Yes, if you live in snow country make sure you brush that snow off. I went skiing for a week last winter and when I got back, this is what I found. I told my younger brother and his two 20+ year old kids who live with me to keep the snow off the portable garage. They obviously didn't do what I asked them.
