Winter cover for JPS Production Open 7.50

With its mast already in position, your sailboat is ideally prepared for a custom winter cover.

Make winter storage easier with our winter cover.

The custom cover we make for your boat is frameless, as we use the boom to create a tent-like structure that covers the entire vessel. This reusable cover offers long-term savings and can last from eight to 15 years (with a thorough seam repair after around eight years), depending on how well it is maintained, provided it is always removed during storms.

It is crucial to fit the cover correctly, as a strong gust of wind can tear a poorly fitted cover. The straps and lines must be tensioned properly.

The winter cover features ventilation

For our covers, we use polyester fabric coated with PVC on both sides. This fabric offers several advantages, including strength, light weight, low stretch, and resistance to mildew and abrasion—qualities that make it ideal for protecting your sailboat. However, as this material is not breathable, we incorporate essential vents during manufacturing to ensure adequate airflow beneath the cover throughout the winter storage period.

Quality with a selection of durable marine-grade materials

To ensure maximum service life, we avoid using stainless steel eyelets, preferring sturdy webbing loops or quick-release fasteners. Metal eyelets are known to cause abrasion and should never come into direct contact with the surface being protected. Our seams are sewn with sail thread that is resistant to breaking and UV exposure, ensuring optimal longevity.

Expert craftsmanship for a well-fitted cover

In most cases, your boat cover comes in two sections joined by a zipper, usually between the mast and the cockpit companionway. Reinforcements are sewn in at all chafe points. The cover goes over the stanchions and extends just slightly down over the hull. It is secured from inside the boat at each stanchion base, usually with a strap threaded through a ladder lock. 
We never use fastenings that require drilling, as there are plenty of natural attachment points on board. 
The mast base is enclosed in a collar that is strapped at the top to limit water ingress.

Every detail of the design and construction is carefully considered and executed to deliver a cover that meets your expectations.
