Spray Hood Bénéteau First 325

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 pieces of fabric 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, heading, and sail trim while staying sheltered.
  • reinforcements placed at strategic points known for premature wear. The sides of the capote are fully reinforced as they endure the most exposure to the elements and deteriorate fastest.
  • The capote is entirely trimmed for a perfect aesthetic and durable finish.
  • The stitching is done with UV-treated sail thread, ensuring it will not unravel prematurely due to sun, moon, or saltwater exposure.
• the installation 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 that you are making a durable investment by choosing our capote model for your Bénéteau First 325.
