So, I finished today. I can't seem to be able to get home before dark, no good pics.
One thing I did, sort of following up on
@Mpellet feedback, was to extend a ratchet strap from the tip of the pulpit rail, over the radar dome, to the back of the platform, kind of creating a crest / midline to support the cover and prevent it from sagging. Worked great. I used a neoprene pipe insulation to cushion the strap at points of contact.

It was dark, so hard to shoot good pics:

The length of the T27 is perfect, it wraps nicely around the anchor up front and goes around the Armstrong bracket in the back.
The side zippers permit access - I can get in and out of the boat, just unzip the side opening (without undoing the tie downs/straps).

Oh, and as an aside - those black dock rubber rail marks - come off completely and easily with acetone, no effort - a dub of acetone on a microfiber towel and those literally just wipe off.
