       8 . The boat cover of  claim 7 , wherein the two substantially symmetrical side edges curve outwardly.  
   
   
       9 . The boat cover of  claim 7 , wherein each buckle means from the first buckle means has a tightening means for tightening each of the first plurality of strap means.  
   
   
       10 . The boat cover of  claim 7 , wherein each buckle means from the second buckle means has a tightening means for tightening each of the second plurality of strap means.  
   
   
       11 . The boat cover of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first plurality of strap means is affixed to the first side edge by stitching.  
   
   
       12 . The boat cover of  claim 7 , wherein each of the second plurality of strap means is affixed to one of the two symmetrical side edges by stitching.  
   
   
       13 . A boat cover system comprising: 
 a boat having rails situated around a periphery of a bow area, the boat having a center console, the center console substantially covered by a deck, the deck having a tubular frame;    a flexible sheet of substantially a triangular shape, the flexible sheet having a first side edge and two symmetrical side edges;    a first plurality of straps affixed to the first side edge for attaching the flexible sheet to the tubular frame; and    a second plurality of straps affixed to the two symmetrical side edges for attaching the flexible sheet to the rails.    
   
   
       14 . The boat cover system of  claim 13 , further comprising a first plurality of buckles in line with the first plurality of straps for removably attaching the first plurality of straps to the tubular frame.  
   
   
       15 . The boat cover system of  claim 13 , further comprising a second plurality of buckles in line with the second plurality of straps for removably attaching the second plurality of straps to the rails.
