If you want a top job, Phone Paul Grey at Dolphin, he is about to make me a new spray hood

A cheap solution I may well be able to help with. I have a source for commercial grade tarpaulins, formerly used as marquees at one of those posh events where they use once then sell off. Only able to source the tarp's with no framework, but I'm going to use one as a complete boat cover. Sizes vary but quality looks to be pretty good from what I've got so far, the first one was so big I could have wrapped Sixpence in it, not just covered her. Think the length was about sixty foot but the garden's got trees in the way so I couldn't unfold it completely, good stuff though, and with a sewing machine capable of stitching and a DIY minded person ....
Just in case anyone else was interested too

Mark Self at Advantage Sails in Brightlingsea made us a super cockpit cover some years ago. Still looks like new.

Thanks for the replies, sent message to Dolphin Sails as a start.

Thought you were a sail and cover (Woolverstone) man?

Whither also NJ Mussett of Mersea?


I think the Dolphin thing (yuk) is a tie up from Gowen, sailmaker by appointment to Sir Sailorman.

I've got Dolphin covers on my boat..it came with them...and they are dire, but looking at the the work they did on a Gunfleet 43 they seem to be first class, maybe things have changed?

I would make them my self rather than use them

Had a quote from them for a cockpit tent, eyewateringly expensive, made HR prices look a bargain.

Advantage made my sails / dodgers and spray hood. Main had slightly too much roach but he adjusted it vey quickly. Would certainly use him again.

+1 for Mark Self at Advantage. He made my over boom winter cover last winter. Great fit, reasonable price and great service. I left him to it, he made the cover and fitted it too. Smashing bloke.

Looks like I'm going with Advantage for my cover.
