Winter Cover for Latitude 46 Tofinou 9.7

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

Simplify winter protection for your boat by choosing our made-to-measure cover.

The custom cover we make for your boat has no frame, as we use the boom to create a kind of tent that covers the entire vessel. This reusable cover offers long-term savings and can last from eight to 15 years (with thorough seam repairs 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 strong winds can tear a poorly fitted cover. The straps and ropes must be tensioned correctly.

The winter cover is ventilated

We make our covers from PVC-coated polyester fabric, coated on both sides. It is strong, lightweight, low-stretch, and resistant to mildew and abrasion—ideal qualities for protecting your sailboat. However, this material is not breathable, which is why we sew in essential vents to ensure airflow beneath the cover during the long months it is in place.

Quality with a selection of durable marine-grade materials

To ensure maximum durability, 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. We use UV-resistant, high-strength sail thread to ensure our seams last as long as possible.

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 every chafe point. The cover goes over the stanchions and hangs slightly over the hull. It is secured from inside the boat at the base of each stanchion, usually with a strap threaded through a ladder-lock buckle.
We never include fastenings that require drilling, as there are enough natural attachment points on board.
The mast base is enclosed in a chimney-style collar, which is cinched at the top to limit water ingress.

Every detail of the design and construction is carefully considered and executed to provide you with protection that meets your expectations.
