Inflatable Dinghy Cover?

[KevO]

Any recommendations for a durable, water and uv proof cover for an inflatable 2.9? One that isn’t made out of tissue and is likely to last preferred. Anyone bought one that meets the spec?

I turn the dingy over.

I am pleased with the cover which I bought from DucksBack | Specialists in Waterproof Covers, it fits well and shrugs off rain.

I have a couple of DB covers for my outboard and windlass

they do seem to degrade after a 3-4 years of UV

i am looking for a cover for my deflated tender ..ducksback don’t seem to make one

anyone discovered a good storage /carry bag for a delfated dink?

I made one, initially from 3 metres of very cheap PVC cover material and polypropylene webbing from Ebay, which lasted a year lashed on deck before fading badly and getting a couple of small tears. Slightly adjusting dimensions I made another 2 years ago from proper Sauleda material from Kayospruce, and it's holding up well. Sewn in UV Dabond thread with polyester webbing straps and plastic buckles. All the original bags my various dinghies have come in have been far too flimsy.

We went our local chandlers Arthurs in Gosport and had a lovely bag made up for our Quicksilver when deflated. If you gave them measurements they might be able to make something if you speak to Sophia there. No connection just a happy Haslar boat nearby in Gosport. We keep our deflated dingy in lazarettette locker and winch out when needed. So limited uv exposure really to uv.

Easy to make out of an old sail!

I bought one to stop my tender from filling up with rainwater when on davits-the only problem is setting up the davit attachment points that do not defeat this objective. The only way i can se of doing it (which I have not tried yet) is to run the lifting straps under each side so they cross undernieth and allow the cover to be watertight. Something to think about if you store it inflated.

Slightly tangentiai : the Portland Pudgy has one which, when inflated, can turn the dinghy into a liferaft.
