If you're a catamaran sailor (like us) then you'll know the importance of keeping your boat, and especially your trampoline, protected from the elements.
It's not only your trampoline you need to protect, your hulls are also very important if you want to keep your catamaran in good condition. We're not just talking about water, we're also talking about the sun.
A cover provides a lot of protection for your boat when it's not being used. We all know the UK weather has it's variations which can be hard on anything left outside.
Our covers team are experienced in making catamaran covers for your catamaran or multihull and have produced hundreds over the years.
Here are the key facts and features about our catamaran covers:
PVC is perfect if your boat is a bit older but the ultimate cover to have is a breathable catamaran cover.
The cotton fibres in the polycotton breathable catamaran covers blend and swell when they become wet. This helps to make the fabric more waterproof the wetter it becomes.
As the boat cover dries, the fibres shrink allowing moisture to evaporate away from the boat.
The 50/50 polyester and cotton (polycotton) fabric combines the strength of the polyester with the breathable nature of the cotton.
Although more expensive, the cotton gives the material its unique breathable characteristics. Other benefits also include:
You can explore all of the catamaran covers we offer here at Sailing Chandlery. Our team are always happy to answer any questions you may have.
We are also able to make bespoke, custom covers if you don't see your boat listed - we'll just need some measurements from you and we can provide an easy to follow form for you to complete.

These are surprisingly difficult to find in chandleries which is surprising as they’re very useful for attaching boat hooks/deck brushes to the handrail. Low tech but good quality.
Good product, prompt delivery. I've tried various options for securing the clew to the boom but none are as effective or easy to release as this strap.
Very quick and user friendly service. Would recommend and will use again.
I had it sent to my son, who will bring it to the US with him next month, so I cant write a review until I get it!
I needed this small pin urgently for a sail training night, and it arrived in good time
Amazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices

I own a much-love SeaSpray catamaran which I am in the process of refurbishing. I’ve redone the decks and I’m looking for a full breathable cover that goes over both hulls and is supported by the boom and extends to the transoms. For over-winter storage, I’ll remove the varnished rudders so I don’t need to cover those. The SeaSpray (no longer in production; originally made in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is 15 ft long and has a beam of 6 ft 6 in. I’m wondering how best to prevent snow and rain to get in through the holes for the stays?? Photos of the SeaSpray can be found online. Might there be an off-the-shelf cover that would fit my boat? Can you estimate the cost of fabricating a breathable cover please? The boat has green decks and white hulls. I would prefer a cover in blue. Let me know if there’s anything else you need to know.
Many thanks,
Bill
