I have just bought a winter cover for my (under construction) 33ft fin keel yacht.
In B&Q they were selling a Gabizo at a out of season discount.
The complete thing is 9 metres long and will easily be extended to the necessary 10 metres. It came complete with about 100 interconnectable poles, corner mouldings, guy ropes, pegs, feet and all the covers.
I could not have purchased the necessary timber and a tarpaulen for anything like the £80 it cost me.

Of course it states that it will not withstand high winds and snow but I am prepared to take the risk.

Good value for money NB of course.

25 years ago I bought a laying up cover from a firm called Plastiweld in Godalming. It's well past it's prime now but I'm still using it!

I don't know what sort of work they do now except that they seem to be listed as marquee makers.

I can't find a web site but you can get their telephone number from bt.com.

They might be worth a try especially if you want something custom made or that will last more than 1 winter.
