½" PVC Pipe Hook

thingiverse

Always struggling to come up with a winter cover for my little sailboat, I made this hook to plug onto the end of a ½" PVC pipe. You can then hook the pipe onto the gunnel and bend the pipe up and over a support of your choosing (I use the mast, laying down). Put another hook on the other end of the pipe and hook it on the opposite gunnel. You now have easy ribs to hold up the tarp or boat cover of your choosing. Print with a tough material such as PETG or greater or you'll break a lot of them. ( I have.) Print on it's side, gives the best strength.
