Catamaran Boat Covers

Catamaran Boat Covers

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.

Breathable Cover vs PVC Cover

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:

• Less abrasive on varnished wood
• More breathable to prevent osmosis on FRP
• Many manufacturers only guarantee hulls with breathable covers
