More sadness

Hey Bender,

Your pvc 'mast' should be plenty strong enough, but some diagonal lines might better support the tarp. Here's a better shot of how my boat was 'strung' for the shrink wrap. They used nylon strapping material (like for boxes). I have her strung similarily, only I used 3/8" braided rope.
But the rope isn't as strong as your pvc will be.
That's the thing too - stringing her up alone is a trick too since the ropes alone hold the 2x4's upright. I may go a pvc route too, but this has worked for two winters (3rd coming) so I'll ponder it. :-)
