My Seago 240 is still going strong after many years of work.
Unfortunately, the bag is falling apart and I need a new one.

I have had a good look on Google, but can't seem to find a suitable replacement.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks
Andy

Seago is one of my suppliers, I can get you a price for a bag on Monday when I'm back in the office.
 
We replaced our Crewsaver bag which fell apart in 18 months with a large bicycle carrier bag from Amazon. Its padded and much better constructed than the original. Takes our 240 without any problems getting it in, more than can be said for the Crewsaver one.

Tent bag is a good call except you need to drop the rolled up flubber into an opening at one end, whereas with a purpose made dinghy bag you just lay rolled up flubber on to opened out bag and it closes around dinghy with straps and what have you.

Was only a suggestion ...

The Soviet dinghy I have as well as Avon - have one end bags ...
 
If you have a willing machinist an old shower curtain is easy to adapt, just two seams to run up. Seam, then turn inside out, there are even built in grommets around the top.
As it's a slippy fabric the dingy goes in a treat and it will keep the sun out for maybe 3 or 4 years.

The colours can be a bit bizarre though and the Royal Yacht Squadron may not be impressed.

Andy, don't know if you have found anything yet. However, went down the boat at the weekend to bring the dinghy home for the winter. Picked it up in the bike carrier bag with dinghy inside and the bag tore. The sun has got to it and the material shot. So £21 and it lasted a year, shame as a 2.3m dinghy fitted nicely.

Next option is off e bay. Barnet Marine have been around for decades and have some ex Plastimo covers from for Zodiacs at £130. However, I am not sure they are any better than our CrewSaver cover that the buckles rust in 4 weeks and the straps rotted and snapped in a year. The dinghy always seemed to poke out the corners.

Other option is just a cover. Screwfix have a trailer cover for £64. Since the object is to keep the rain and particularly the sun off the dinghy rather than have something to carry it in, I am probably going down this route. At least they look reasonable weather proof and hopefully sun resistant if designed for a trailer.

looks identical to the one that came with My CrewSaver 2.3m dinghy and fell apart. The Zodiac one above has two handles each end, so may be different.

There was a comment recently that Honwave are now made by Sunsport. Whilst Honda may have had a good reputation in the past, if there dinghies are being made by the same factory as Sunsport, I won't be buying.
