If you're in the market for a new breathable dinghy or boat cover then you've come to the right place. Sailing Chandlery provide a full range of dinghy covers for the most popular boats on the market. We can also make custom dinghy covers should you need that service.
Our breathable covers are made from a top quality polycotton material which allows the air to circulate around your boat and under the cover, perfect for the more delicate material of boat.
You can view both our PVC and breathable covers on our boat covers page.
Although more expensive a breathable cover will provide better protection for your boat in all conditions. Having the air flow through the cover means your hull is better protected preventing against osmosis, it will also keep the boat cooler in hotter conditions where a PVC cover can act as a heater.
A breathable cover is also softer so offers less abrasion on varnished wood surfaces for example.
It's worth checking what your boat manufacturer recommends as many manufacturers only guarantee hulls with breathable covers.
You can view all our breathable cover options on our covers page.
Our cover material is a mix of polyester and cotton. When the cotton gets wet it expands meaning the cover material closes up stopping water from going through the material. When the cover starts to dry the cotton shrinks down again allowing the air to flow.
With a Sailing Chandlery boat cover you can expect the following:
Here are a couple of photos of a recent RS800 breathable cover we've supplied to a happy customer. The photos show the cover without the mast on the boat, with the mast on the boat it would allow the cover to be lifted into a better position.
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
