Covering your tramp is absolutely worth the money. You can just use a tarp for under 20 bucks.

I'd go with the cheap tarp too. Tramp covers are almost as expensive as the tramp they protect and are easier to steal.

Hard to tell what's good or not, via internet photos. I bought one on ebay, supposedly sunbrella material, that fits well, easy to install and remove, but looked like it was ten years old after two years (winters) exposure. I made the mistake of pulling on the center loop (to attach to boom when mast up) with a water puddle on the tramp and the stitching started ripping out.

Purchase of a new hardware store tarp, every two or three years, and I would have been money ahead.

I just use a tarp every winter.. but in the summer, I don't cover it.

Wow.. those upper rudder casings look so nice.. I really need to buy some new ones!

What about something to cover the hulls to protect them from delamination?

In addition, I have a full tarp that drapes over the entire boat, hulls and all. It ties up rather nicely. Wish I had a pic but I don't. :(

O.K. Keven, here's a pic of it fully covered. It was taken at night but you get the idea.
