New Boat Cover?

Winter is coming and for the majority of us we’ll be tucking our boats up and leaving them outside for the colder UK months.

Over those months the boat is going to take on some harsh conditions whether that be the small bit of winter sunshine to the possibility of heavy rain, snow and certainly some cold frosts. Obviously, the better you look after your boat the longer it’s going to last.

If you’ve got a ripped cover or are using something that doesn’t quite fit now is the time to invest in a new boat cover. A proper fitted boat cover for your type of boat will keep it protected from the elements. It will also help to keep unwanted friends such as nesting animals out.

In the long run it’s not just the winter where the cover will be of benefit, the cover will last for years and will also help to keep your boat protected from the sun in the summer months.

Our boat covers come with a number of features:

  • Soft webbing straps
  • Easy to clip together tie downs
  • Transom tie down at the base of the boat cover
  • No strings or eyelets can be seen
  • Top quality materials used

Dinghy Rope boat covers can be made from heavy duty PVC or a polycotton material. Both over covers and under covers are available for a range of boats. If you don’t see your boat listed please do get in contact and we’ll provide you with a quote.

It’s also important to note that all of our boat covers are made in the UK by experienced people with years of cover building experience.

Advantages of Polycotton

Polycotton is the best material for the job, but as you’ll see it is more expensive.

The cotton fibres in the polycotton boat 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 polycotton fabric combines the strength of the polyester with the breathable nature of the cotton.

Key benefits:

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

Please note that all boat covers come with a 10 working day lead time.

Prompt delivery good price.

Bought to replace Rooster and looks like the edges might not fray as quickly. Grip level is good yet to check how it feels barefooted

Life saving service

Great speedy service for this top of the range ZHIK PFD, meant that I could go sailing the upcoming weekend. Sailing was a joy and noticeable how good the PFD was, looking forward to using in more throughout the winter.

Not an easy fit for Bramber trolleys

Didn't fit my Bramber laser trolley without removing the internal bush shoulders and still no room for the nylon washers. also the Lynch pain didn't fit either.

Always a great service.

Recently called in to pick up a replica Laser Radial sail, numbers and mast top section.
Lovely to meet Jason and put a face to the emails.
He was friendly and knowledgeable on other bits a pieces I required for my Laser. (Blocks and screws).
Highly recommend.

Little Hawk

Arrived in time for the "Bartley Beast" open meeting, its a replacement for a conventional burgee at the top of a Javelin mast, I have been using one on the top of my K1 mast for more than five years and its still in perfect condition. Burgee's on the Javelin tend to need replacing twice a year even without a capsize. At the Sailing Chandlery price for the Little Hawk I should make a saving!

Wayfarer boom up cover

What to say?
This is an extremely good cover made from a tough high quality material.
It fits my Wayfarer perfectly.
I would definitely recommend it and buy it again.
There's almost no criticism that can be leveled at it!
One comment though, the tie straps toward the stern of the boat are way too long, I'll be cutting mine down to size when it stops raining!
