Hunter 36 Flat Deck Cover

How the flat deck cover fits your boat

For most of our flat deck covers, the boat’s mast remains stepped. On request, we can also make a cover for boats with the mast removed; these are generally boats under 25 feet.

The cover lies against the deck, following its contours. For example, if it rests on a winch, we add reinforcement at the point of contact.
The cover stops short of the base of the stanchions, leaving enough clearance to tension the fabric. It features a mast collar: the mast foot is enclosed in a sleeve secured around the top with straps. The cover is generally made in two sections joined by a strong YKK nylon zipper, including the slider!
This cover protects the entire deck of your boat from the weather, dirt and UV damage. Spend less time on maintenance and more time sailing. Extend your boat’s lifespan and preserve its value.

Made to suit your boat’s specific features (photos required). These include equipment such as a bimini, arch, gantry, navigation light, antenna or any additional deck hardware.

A choice of high-quality marine-grade materials

All areas subject to chafing are reinforced.

We use a double-sided PVC-coated polyester fabric that is durable, lightweight, low-stretch, mildew-resistant and abrasion-resistant—just what you need to protect your sailboat.

Although it is less airtight than a winter cover, the flat deck cover also features a vent to prevent condensation under the PVC fabric.
We use highly break-resistant, UV-resistant sail thread to ensure our seams are secure.

A snug fit helps your cover last longer

The cover comes with plenty of fastening points, and we recommend using them all to ensure it fits properly. Just one strong gust of wind can tear a poorly fitted cover. It is essential to tension the straps and lines correctly. If a storm is forecast and your boat is exposed to the prevailing winds, we recommend temporarily removing the cover.
