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.
Good service arrived quickly and exactly as required. Thanks
Just as described and it arrived quickly. Thank you!
Quality product, fast delivery perfect
I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
The 100m reel of 4mm pre-stretched polyester rope I ordered for our Club's fleet of training dinghies is very good quality and really competitively priced. It arrived quickly so we could re-rig control-lines before the week's training course finished.
Quick to order and fast delivery, thank you. Good to have the wheel washers and retaining clips included in the package.
Cannot fault the service received. Queries responded to very quickly, thank you Jason. Very fast, efficient despatch and delivery. My son is very happy with the Aqua fleece.
Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
