Custom Boat Covers
By Elizabeth Morgan
Owning a boat and then spending lazy hors sailing down the sea near sun-kissed beaches is a luxury, which many dream to afford. And if you are the lucky owner of one such boat, fitted with all accessories, and designed to sail you away from the daily cares, do remember to give a thought to its well- keep and maintenance.
Boats, like all organisms � living or non- living are subject to the vagaries of nature. Time will take its toll and your much prized possession can lose both its shine and value.
One of the most important aspects of keeping your boat spic and span, shining and new is to give attention to boat covers. They play a pivotal role in keeping dust, snow, rain or mildew at bay. All these are sources of corrosion and can affect the boat adversely. While many boat covers are available in the market, the best option is the custom fit boat cover. Rated high on the scale of customer satisfaction, they are designed for specific boat styles.
So, before venturing out for shopping for your custom fit cover, keep a few things in mind. First of all, you need to get exact and accurate measurements of your boat using a non- stretching tape. Look around you and do a survey of the fabrics most popular for boat covers. This will give you an idea of what to choose from. The popular range of options includes 50/50 polyester marine fabric or any soft fabric such as 100% waver polyester along a non-waver polyester back.
Choosing the right fabric for your customized boat cover is very essential because only a fabric with the required amount of strength and flexibility will be able to keep away the UV impacts, mildew and the prevent the process of rusting, which would set in the boat sooner or later because of its constant contact with water.

In France, Pierre Debroutelle came up with a prototype for an inflatable boat in 1934. The first boat of its kind to be certified by the French Navy, Zodiac's model probably sparked the development of the civil and military inflatable boat industry. Unlike its counterparts, the boat improved by Pierre Debroutelle in 1937 was actually designed in a U-shape, with the two lateral buoyancy chambers connected by a wooden transom patented on August 10, 1943. This version was the direct predecessor of today's inflatable sports and pleasure boats. Since then many new manufacturers, new models and new designs have hit the market.

Water Purification On Boats
Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:45:45 +0200
I came across this product AQUA SALVEO for water purification. Just wondering has anyone used this product OR any other product to do this job. My boat has been sitting for 4 years now and I suspect the water is maybe older than that. I can't remove the tanks without some major demolition and reconstruction work so is this the best alternative.
