I got mine from [URL]http://www.fairclough.com/[/URL] the price was competitive (reasonable is in the pocket of the buyer). I have had it for a number of years now and still in good shape.

Tmod,
First, congrats on your (new) boat. You will LOVE it! Second, please take a moment to click on the User CP link in the upper left corner of this page and take a few moments to compete your "signature", so that we know more about you and your boat. Third, I bought a boom-tent type cover from The Canvas Store on Long Island, NY. They have most Catalina models in their database, and mine fit perfectly right out of the box. I prefer the over-the-toe-rail style, even though it costs a little more. It's worked perfectly for two seasons.

This might be a good time to order one. Mention a boat show special (it IS that season, after all!)

Judging from the snow it appears you're somewhere where staying in the water all year is not an option. I'm in an area where many people leave their boats in the water for years. I'm on a haul every other year routine, so I need a cover that would work in or out of the water.

I like the looks of your cover, but wonder how it would work with the boat in the water where you couldn't tie it down with jugs.

Make sure the new winter cover does NOT go over the stanchions because they will break off during heavy snow fall:eek:. The new cover should go under the lifelines to or around the stanchions!

Bill,
The jugs are not normally required or even suggested in the instructions. I added them to keep a constant tension on the canvas. The cover is designed to be tied to the bases of the stanchions. Other than the jugs, everything was done from the deck, and could easily be done to a boat in the water.
