Ebay blue cover members update

Hi well was up at the boat last week after 5months and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that after the winter we have had in West of Scotland the cover is 100% intact not one little tear! Absolutely brillant no damage at all. I was wondering how the others who purchased last year faired over the winter?

Had to replace mine about a month ago as it had started to rot. It lasted 2 1/2 years.

It probably would have lasted another 6 months but there was a small tear in it where it went over the outboard.

2 Winters in & I finally got round to sewing the correct shape into the back end of it last week.

I reckon good for another 2 at least - its kept on pretty tight to stop any flapping which has saved it in strong winds I reckon.

Maybe not 100% waterproof now , but not too concerned - keeps the leaves & dirt out , and any water runs off the decks anyway over winter.

As importantly stops prying eyes & birds/ animals getting on/in the boat.

Have to say its the best £80 odd quid I've spent on boaty things.

Here they are:-

Their ebay shop has nothing in it at the mo though. May be worth ringing them before buying.
