For our cover, we used electrical conduit and simply bent the pipe at the same height coming up from the deck. We have a centerline piece they all attach to with brackets you can buy. The lengths of the top portion of pipes were cut to meet the centerline poll.anyone perchance have a accurate scale drawing, especially plan view, of an E35-2 ?
Or (better) offsets at deck level from the centerline.
I'm designing a winter cover.

Allow a Latitude 34 owner to ask, for his information, why exactly you fellows wrap your boats in winter, given all the work and expense.
Here, boats are in the water 12 months, fully exposed except for the usual canvas covers, and they suffer no particular harm despite our stronger UV and the chafe on lines and barnacle issues. Snow and ice don't really hurt a boat, and fluids components have to be winterized anyhow, yet there seems to be a latitude above which hauling and covers are important.
Obviously I'm missing something. Perhaps the answer lies in the slip environment in wintry climes?
I like our climate being envied, but it calls to mind the story of the Vermont farmer who, during Reconstruction, was offered 100 acres of land in Mississippi, free of charge. All he had to do was work it.
"Sir, in Mississippi you can farm all the year round!"
Farmer tossed another log on the fire, filled his pipe, and said: "How stupid do you think I am?"
