Canvas Boat Covers

By Elizabeth Morgan


Come winter and it is time to put away your boat till you are in a position to use it again. A boat, which is not in use, can become a playground for mice, which, after making themselves at home will spare no efforts in gnawing away at your seats or nipping at the wiring. If rodents are not enough, it is the reality of the harsh weather. The result is that you will find your precious investment at the receiving end of the snow, rain or storm. It will so happen that when it is one again time to cruise away on your boat, you may end up with an additional expenditure to make it re-usable again. This can be prevented if you take the precaution of putting it under a boat cover.

Think of the boat covers and canvas boat covers arise as a feasible option. This more so, if you wan to keep your boat camped outside, as it is absolutely essential for you to inspect your boat, every now and then.

Canvas boat covers are an ideal option for outdoor storage, in that they keep the harsh elements of nature at bay and protect the boat against water, snow, and ice. Once you have decided that the canvas cover is the best option for your boat, you then need to do a bit of comparative studies because many variations of the canvas boat covers are available in the market. The best way to do is by surfing the net.

You will come across many companies advertising these covers. You will also come across companies providing discounts for online purchases. A thorough search will require a little effort on your part, but if you are able to get your canvas cover with all requisite features, at a reasonable price, then the entire effort will be well worth it. Also, while searching you may fund many companies offering customized canvas boat covers.

Do consider this option, because customized weatherproof canvas covers will give your boat a perfect fit and help in increasing its life span. The main features associated with boat covers include their strength and durability and their ability to repel water and at the same allow the boat breathe. All these features are associated with the canvas boat cover.

Jet boat engines come in two varieties � inboard and outboard. Regardless of the type of motor, the jet system consumes about 30% of the engines horsepower while taking in the water and accelerating it out the back. A 50HP outboard fitted with a jet unit will make about 35HP at the nozzle. Other typical combinations you see are 25/20, 60/40, 90/65, 115/80, 150/105, and 200/140.

Starlight 35 yacht- The designer of the Starlight 35 Mk2 , Stephen Jones, has achieved an enviable reputation for his exceptional vision in hull form which has produced many of the most successful racing yachts in the UK in recent years. In the Starlight 35 Mk2, Stephen has provided a fast hull and easily manageable sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. She was chosen by the judges in the Yachting World Rally as the best yacht in her size range. The Starlight 35 Mk2 enjoys exceptional qualities of thermal and acoustic insulation achieved by a building process which incorporates an inner and outer moulding, enclosing a foam core. This provides a hull which is quieter, warmer and has a noticeable lack of condensation compared with conventionally constructed yachts. The ambience achieved in the cabins from this construction method is therefore exceptional.

U.S. East Coast, Caribbean, The World!, Long-Term Cruising Under Sail

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:50:23 +0200
I'm looking for one-time, some-time or full-time crew, depending on your schedule and how much fun we have sailing together. Prefer a long-term mate, female, 30's to early 40's, slender, fit and under 5'5" (1.65m).

I bought this solid, roomy 42' ketch a year ago and brought her to a boat yard on the St. Johns River, about 30 miles west of St. Augustine, Florida. Here I've done a substantial refit, replacing/upgrading gear from rigging to thru-hulls, and installing a long list of new equipment from radar to water maker. It has been a challenging project, and fun much of the time. The result is one beautiful, eminently seaworthy cruising sailboat! I'm on the home stretch now. You're welcome to join me and help out, if you like. Guaranteed you'd learn a lot! Or you can just visit, see the boat and talk about upcoming cruises.
