For several years I fought the wind blowing the tarp off the baot. Last year I took a long rope and wrapped it around the tarp (like a belt) just below the rubrail. I found that the wind couldn't get under the tarp to lift it off.
I build a simple frame out of 2x4s to shed all the water over the sides. Without the frame, the tarp sags to the floor and the boat fills with water. My Job Lot tarp is still going strong after 4 seasons.
