You got me beat on getting the cover on! I was out there putting up the frame today, in the snow & rain mix.... I love pushing the season, you really get the best sailing in, but things like winterizing, cover, pressure washing etc. sometimes need to work around the late fall temps.... I forgot to drain my garden hose so could not pressure was the spots I had previously missed. Pressure washing a black bottom is a crappy job cause once wet you can't really see the slime well... The hose is now in the garage thawing out.... Doh'..... Once I finish the frame my buddy Tony will come over later this week and we'll shrink it...

Last year I built the frame on Dec 2 and had a lovely 40 degree day.. This year I built it on Dec 1 and had 29F - 32F and a rain/snow mix......(nl)
