Description
Thanks to its mast, your sailboat is perfectly suited to a custom-fitted winter cover.
Make winter storage easier with our custom-made cover.
The custom cover we make for your boat has no frame, as we make use of 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 overhaul after around eight years), depending on how well it is maintained, provided it is always removed before storms.
It is crucial to fit the cover correctly, as strong winds can tear a poorly fitted cover. The straps and lines must be tensioned correctly.
The winter cover features ventilation
For our covers, we use PVC-coated polyester fabric on both sides. It is strong, lightweight, low-stretch, and resistant to mould and abrasion—ideal qualities for protecting your sailboat. However, this material is not breathable, so we sew in essential vents to ensure airflow beneath the cover during the long months it is in place.
Quality through a selection of durable marine-grade materials
To ensure the longest possible service life, we avoid stainless-steel eyelets, opting instead for 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 strong, UV-resistant sail thread for our seams to ensure long-lasting performance.
Expert craftsmanship for a close-fitting cover
In most cases, your boat cover consists of two sections joined by a zipper, usually between the mast and the cockpit companionway. Reinforcements are sewn in at every chafe point. The cover passes over the stanchions and extends 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 buckle.
We never include fixings that require drilling, as there are enough natural attachment points on board.
The mast base is enclosed by a sleeve that is secured at the top with a strap to limit water ingress.
Every detail of the design and construction is carefully considered and carried out to provide you with a cover that meets your expectations.

- Polyester (PES) is a hydrophobic textile fiber. It therefore does not retain water. This fiber is one of the strongest and most abrasion-resistant textile fibers that exist.
