Abstract:
1. A watercraft cover comprising: a sheet of water repellant material; at least two pockets attached to the sheet; at least one support structure including an attachment structure; a support structure sleeve attached to the sheet and located substantially between the at least two pockets; the at least one support structure extending from at least one of the at least two pockets into the sleeve and the attachment structure of the support structure being disposed in proximity to the sleeve; at least one strap attachable to the sheet which is configured to bend the at least one support structure to form a shape which prevents water collection and deflects wind on the sheet; and at least three cover gathering means secured to the sheet and adapted for tightening of the sheet against a watercraft; wherein the attachment structure serves to normally irreversibly integrate the at least one support structure with the sheet such that the sheet and the support structure are collapsible together for portability without separating the at least one support structure and the sheet.
