Covers in Essex or Kent?

[scottnewcombe]

Hope you all had a good Xmas.

Back to work and back to scouring the web looking for boat bits!

Does anyone know if there is a reputable cover maker nearish to Southend on sea. The chap I was using on Canvey Island has dissapeared.

The cover is for the cockpit of a motor boat. I would like to take the boat somewhere like Burnham, Chatham, Maldon even, leave it with them and come back in a few weeks to a nice new cover.

Getting a bit deperate now.

Many thanks

Scott

I think Jekells Sails have an associated company which makes covers, although they are based in norwich, they may measure the boat in Essex. I know someone who bought sails at the same time and they insisted in coming down to take their own measurements and then again to fit the covers.

We have a load of stuff on Amber from Wilkinsons at Burnham. Sprayhood is top notch. I have heard from someone else that Jeckells can be problematic with fit. Friend couldn't get them back to sort his....

Thanks again

I wasn't expecting quite so many replies!

Great stuff. Should keep me busy for a while. Once the covers are done I can get on with fitting my newly made fuel tank.
