Making of a cover to protect the wood from harmfull uv rays and the extreme temperature changes we experience here on the south coast of the uk.
I wanted a fitted cover and could only find loose drawstring covers on the web so set about making my own from some uv stable vinyl that i perchased online.
I figured that the only way to get a true fit was to template from the actual fabric laid directly over the hull. After cutting the various panels to shape adding on seam allowances i taped the panels onto the hull to check the fit. I used french seams on all joints for extra strength and waterproof qualities.
Joines were made at midships to keep the cover looking tidy and minimize the number of joints
All Cleats and fairleads were cut out and pockets of fabric were made for them.
