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:
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.
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.
Find you’re a boat cover suitable for your boat now.
Please note that all boat covers come with a 10 working day lead time.
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
Though not cheap this control line swivel block is just the job. Well worth the money imho.
Always can rely on sailing chandlery leading up to a busy event season ! Great service, great products all round !
Excellent, fair pricing, fast delivery! Would recommend
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
