Winter will soon be here and as the weather starts to get colder you should be thinking about how you keep your boat protected. Even if you are planning on sailing your dinghy over the winter it will need protection when not being used.
Sailing Chandlery provide a range of dinghy covers which are suitable for a number of classes, they are made in the UK from the latest top quality materials to ensure your cover lasts and protects your boat.
There are two options for over covers, either PVC or a breathable poly cotton material. For under covers we provide them in nylon and they are great if you’re doing a lot of towing to various events.
Most of our covers come with a 10 working day lead time as they are made to order, however, we do have the more popular options available on the shelf.
The PVC cover is the budget version which is not breathable, this means that any water trapped inside will stay inside. This is not a problem if you have a boat such as a Topper or Pico as the moisture will not soak into the boat. If you had a wooden boat such as an Enterprise for example then this would become an issue.
With a polycotton breathable dinghy cover the cotton fibres blend and swell when the cover becomes wet. This means the cover becomes more waterproof as it becomes wetter. When the cover starts to dry the fibres shrink again allowing the moisture to escape away from the surface of your boat.
This fabric combines the strength of a polyester along with the breathable nature of the cotton material.
Benefits of having a breathable dinghy cover are:

Nearly 40 years on from my first "Laser" I have just taken delivery of my second - a Devoti Ilca 7. Buying this new ILCA has been a 5 star experience, and dealing with Andrew, Jason and Steve at Sailing Chandlery have all been great - candid advice, all the help and assistance I could have wished for. And to cap it all Steve delivered the new Devoti to my home address - 5 hours away, and up in the hills, not easy to get to - and what's more Steve then stayed to help me sort out the rigging - all very different from what I remember. When I last sailed a Laser you had to lean on the boom to put on more kicker. I'm very happy to give the team at Sailing Chandlery a fulsome recommendation.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
