Boat Cover

After many months of considering the options of Ducksback versus the custom cover route I finally took the plunge

Working with Montrose Rope & Sail, Neil insisted I leave the boat with him in order that they may work up the design and ensure accurate measurement etc.

Less than 1 week later I returned to see the finished article and was absolutely stunned at the result given the open design brief I had left them with

I must therefore extend a huge thanks to Neil & his team for an excellent job.

Superb quality and design with many thoughtful touches. Thanks guys!😁

Looks a really good job. Is yours a standard 5.85 and can you give a ballpark cost.
Cheers

Hi Jambo, she's a 6.3 so not a standard build. Price really depends on the material you specify and the complexity of design. I went for heavy duty Panama weave acrylic and a detachable rear cover and paid just over 900 ;-).

Jambo, place in Falkirk will do you one a lot cheaper than 」900, although that one looks excellent I must say.

Give last tango or breezeblock a shout or PM me and I'll get my son to pass on your info.

The place in Falkirk (custom covers) charged me 」350.
Again, had to leave the boat overnight with them. 4 years old now and no problems.
