COVERS - Sailing Yachts and Motor Cruisers
| We are able to provide the following cover services: |
Our sprayhoods are individually tailored to suit your requirements and are designed to protect the yacht's cockpit from the worst of the sea and weather. They are manufactured from U.V. stable acrylic canvas and are available in a variety of colours. As the Sprayhood is individually made for each yacht, it is possible to incorporate any variation required by the customer e.g. lower the spray hood to allow visibility over the top, or vary the position of windows for maximum visibility.
A strong, tubular, stainless steel frame can be supplied, or existing steel can be used if only a replacement sprayhood is required. "Grab rails" can be incorporated into the design, providing greatly increased safety when at sea, and can even be fitted to an existing sprayhood.

The sprayhood can be attached in a number of ways, e.g. with turnbuckles or a track and usually include adjustable tensioning via straps and buckles.
A cockpit cover can greatly increase the space available on board, especially for an "English summer", suitable for Motor Cruisers and Sailing Yachts. The cover can incorporate any amount of clear window area and would normally integrate with a sprayhood on a yacht. The cockpit cover can be made in a variety of colours from U.V. stable acrylic.

Self supporting Bimini covers act as sun protection and can be used when sailing or relaxing in the cockpit. A tubular stainless steel construction that can be kept up or lowered when sailing is used as the main frame for the Bimini. The cover is made from U.V. stable acrylic and is available in a variety of colours. To protect the cover when lowered, a sock can be provided as an optional extra.
Stac Pacs, Lazy Jack Systems and Mainsail covers
A number of options exist when it comes to protecting your mainsail. We offer the choice of our own design of mainsail reefing, lowering and storage system, called a "Stac Pac" or the traditional mainsail cover, either of which is available in a variety of colours.
Our Stac Pac system is incorporated with lazy jacks to guide the sail into an acrylic cover, which can then be zipped up to protect the sail from the elements and includes a detachable mast "boot" for complete protection. The Stac Pac itself is attached to the boom with the sailfoot bolt rope and then to the lazyjacks with the support of full-length removable fibreglass battens in a pocket at the top edge of the cover. This complete system offers significant safety advantages when reefing or dropping sail in rough conditions. Just go head to wind and drop it!!

As well as supplying a Stac Pac, we are also happy to quote for complete lazy jack rigging and fitting.
We are also able to produce made to measure traditional mainsail covers if required. We are happy to measure your vessel for you, or alternatively you can provide us with the measurements.
Outboard, wheel and tiller covers
A variety of covers can be made to protect outboard motors, tillers, wheel-steering and instruments - in fact anything that can be harmed by U.V. can be catered for.

On many Motor Cruisers and Power Boats, the angle of windscreens and windows make it difficult for interior curtains to protect the equipment and furnishings inside the boat - this is where exterior Window Covers come in. Additionally they afford significant privacy when moored in busy marinas, especially when the first boat of a raft of 6! As they are exclusively manufactured for each individual craft, no shape is impossible.

Tonneau covers can come in a number of guises - including flybridge and cockpit on Power boats and Motor Cruisers, as well as attachments to yacht sprayhoods. They are all made to measure from U.V. stable acrylic and are available in a variety of colours.
Stem-to-stern winter covers can save many hours of pre-season cleaning, as well keeping your boat looking like new and are of huge benefit whether just for a winter lay-up or for long term storage. As each cover is designed for your individual requirements, the design can take into account whether you wish to keep you mast and boom up or down as well as being fitted to any shape of powerboat or Motor Cruiser. Depending on size and shape a cover could be made as a single item, or come in two three or more pieces for easy fitting - contact us to find out more.
Hatch, winch and windlass covers
Any type or shape of hatch cover can be made, including externally or internally fitted. Hatch covers provide extra privacy in a crowded marina and provide U.V. protection for furnishings and instruments. They are also a security feature, hiding expensive equipment from prying eyes!
When winches and windlasses can cost many hundreds of pounds, why not protect them with a tailor made winch cover?
We are able to make Dinghy Covers of any shape or size to suit your tender, sailing dinghy, RIB, or inflatable. These can include collars to fit around masts, with boat names, etc.
