Pogo 3 Structural Winter Cover

With the mast in place, your sailboat is particularly well suited to 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 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 during storms.

It is crucial to ensure the cover is properly fitted, 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 polyester fabric coated with PVC 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, which is why we sew in essential vents to ensure airflow beneath the cover during the long months it is in place.

Quality materials selected for durability in the marine environment

To ensure the longest possible 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. We use UV-resistant, high-strength sail thread for our seams to ensure lasting performance.

Expert craftsmanship for a perfectly fitted cover

In most cases, your boat cover comes in two sections joined by a zipper, usually between the mast and the cockpit entrance. Reinforcements are sewn in at all chafe points. The cover passes 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 buckle.
We never include fastenings that require drilling, as there are plenty of suitable natural attachment points on board.
The mast base is enclosed in a sleeve, which is strapped at the top to limit water ingress.

Every detail of the design and construction is carefully considered to provide protection that fully meets your needs.
