Spray Hood Elan 40
Equipping yourself with a good spray Hood transforms your sailing experience. In summer, the capote keeps the companionway cool when the sun is strong. It also allows you to enjoy the fresh air while staying protected.
A true shield against the elements, you won’t want to sail without it anymore.
Why choose our SNA boat capote for your Elan 40 sailboat?

Description
The spray Hood includes:
- a structure made of 316L stainless steel hoops (the only type resistant to salty air), with 25mm diameter tubes. The hoops are delivered already connected by 316L stainless steel joints, ready to be inserted into the hinged plates to be screwed onto the roof.
- the acrylic coated fabric canvas.
It is an assembly of 78 fabric pieces including:- the marine canvas itself, with the exterior made of fabric and the interior covered with a coating to make it waterproof,
- the 1mm transparent crystal, treated with UV protection. The glazed parts of the capote ensure optimal visibility. Crew members can monitor surrounding traffic, the heading, and sail trim while staying sheltered.
- reinforcements placed at strategic points known to wear prematurely. The sides of the capote are fully reinforced as they endure the most exposure to the elements and deteriorate the fastest.
- The capote is entirely piped for a perfect, durable, and aesthetic finish.
- The stitching is done with UV-treated sail thread, ensuring it will not unravel prematurely due to sun, moon, or saltwater exposure.
- the fitting hardware, made of 316L stainless steel, including the mounting plates for the stainless steel tubes and various accessories such as rails, tenax fasteners, screw-in snaps, and canvas buttons. Each capote model includes all or part of this hardware.
- the installation plan. This diagram shows you where to drill. The installation instructions for our capotes are emailed to you along with this plan at the time your capote is shipped.
We take great care in packaging the hoops to ensure the stainless steel structure does not deform during transport.
The complete capote is shipped to you by carrier within 8 weeks.
Please note that the lifespan of a capote canvas is 10 years, and we provide replacement canvases for our capotes.
Rest assured you are making a durable investment by choosing our capote model for your Elan 40.
