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:

A good product efficiently dispatched
The definitive racing watch - my daughter is delighted. Hopefully it will be put to good use in the Uni sailing team. Great service as usual from Sailing Chandlery.
Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
