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.
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
Good replacement
Good
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
