Can anyone recommend a canopy maker in Portsmouth area please and advice roughly what I can expect to pay for
cockpit canopy
Full flybridge cover
screen cover
Princess 360


My current covers are in good order with the exception of a ZIP that broke while being used in the frost.

I have to decide if I spend on repairs or renew.

Current covers are getting old but were incredibly well made, 100% clear flexible glass then lined both sides with material, only sign of wear is the decorative piping and one zip.
 
No idea of prices (for your boat) but I was very pleased with the cockpit enclosure I had made by Comfort Afloat, Gosport. The price and delivery were the best I could find in the Solent area
 
You could try Jim @ J.B Yacht Services. Tel: 01489 57248
He made me a screen cover for £350 in a mesh material, lets plenty of light in, you can see out but nobody can see in.
Just having a zip done now, about 5 ft long, he quoted £15 to repair the stitching or £35 to replace the whole zip.

He also made me a beautiful tender cover £450.

Very happy with his work, no connection etc,etc....
 
Canvas work

Another vote for Comfort Afloat in Gosport, but Quay Lane Boatyard doesn't have much water if coming by sea!
I recommend Cover Care who will pop over to Emsworth from Thornham Marina to measure up.
 
Just had a Flybridge cover made for mine by C&J Marine in Chichester. When I got quotes, they were the cheapest for using the best materials. They had to come and measure up and design one from scratch to fit using the existing tie points etc. (Though there was an old one.) The new is far better and fits more comprehensively and avoids zips (which were one of the main issues with the old one). They came to the Marina, did all the work including the final fitting - all in very polite and professional Cost about a £1k all in.

No connection - just my experience of using them.
