You've come back to your boat after winter and the boat cover is green or black rather than it's traditional blue or grey. Whether you've left the boat under a tree or winter has just done its worst to your boat cover we have some tips to getting that cover back into top condition.
As stated above it's important to note that we recommend trying this first on a hidden area of the cover to ensure it doesn't lead to discolouration of your boat cover. Please also be careful with a pressure washer, don't put it too close to the cover.
If your cover really has had it after you've made the attempt to put some life back into it then do get in touch, we provide PVC and breathable boat covers for most types of dinghy.
If you've got questions about our dinghy covers or boat covers then please do get in touch with the team.

Be very careful about using a pressure washer, even on a low setting. I’ve used it on a PVC and canvas cover and each time it destroyed the filler in the fabric or removed the top plastic on the PVC, exposing the cloth support underneath. This was despite being as gentle as I could. It’s just too much power. Better to take the gentler (but slower) route and do it by hand. For a canvas cover, re-proof it with Fabsil. I’ve just done an old, but very sound Flying Fifteen cover which was letting water through. After treating with Fabsil, the water sits nicely on the top now. It’s easiest to do this on the boat, but if you do, I recommend protecting the boat with a plastic sheet first so the Fabsil doesn’t mark the boat, especially if it’s a varnished deck. Hope this helps!
