Boat Cover

Looks like a nice cover. I would have to remove the bimini top on mine each time, but not a big deal.

Anybody have any ideas for a boat that is trailered mast-up or kept in a slip? I haven't figured out how to hold down a cover on a slipped boat, other than perhaps with very short bungy cords that hook to small 3/8s grommets on the cover and the underside of the rub rail. Perhaps that's actually the right solution.

I'm considering doing a two-piece overlapping cover out of Sunbrella, a forward piece and and aft piece. The forward piece would have notches for the forestay chainplate and stanchions and would go back to the mast and forward stays. The aft piece would cover everything from the mast back.

It would be a lot of time and money invested to use an unproven attachment method, which is why I've not pulled the trigger on it.

I use this on my 26X, it lasts for about 8 years now. The cover was about $150 from Overtons... heavy duty, silver on one side black on the other... strong grommets. it has some small holes now, but keeps the majority of the boat out of the weather. Probably will replace this year.

I called Overton's and it seems they no longer sell this Cover? If I go this route, I'd sure like a white material though......guess my quest isn't yet over for a perfect boat cover, if it even exists?
