Spayhood…cost

[Wansworth]

How much would a complete spray hood with frame etc cost…ball park.probably in Spain even more expensive

 

[Poignard]

I have recently been quoted 1500 euros by a French cover maker, that is keeping the existing frames.

£400 for just the canvas work - 3 window panels, 1 opening, leather hand holds on the frame. That was 2021 though. Probably several gazillion now.

£16.95 from Force 4, Guy Cotten brand (other suppliers available).

What would you need a sprayhood for, wafting around the rias in the sunshine and a Force 3?

If god had intended us to go sailing in bad weather, he'd have given us wheelhouses!

Remember - cost of everything, value of nothing. Buying a boat should be led by your heart because no matter how much you apply your brain, it’ll never make sense.

How long does it take to dry out your hair shirt after each trip?

€2,000 just for a basic cover in Lefkas the other day. I think that's called testing how much the market will bear. £750 for a slightly smaller one in Scotland a few months ago.

But I note that Greek prices are usually higher than the south coast of England. I blame rich Germans.

I didn't know if "spayhood" was another word for a condom ;-)

I'm fairly sure south coast would be more than £2k for a sprayhood. Laundryman had a quote a year or so ago which was quite eye watering and came with I think an 8 month lead time. He built a GRP one instead in the end which looks a better solution anyway

£750 where?

Sail Doctor. Port Edgar.

Sail Doctor. Port Edgar.

Edit: there was also someone with a Westerly Griffon who got a ready made one for about £400. Fitted well. Kirkcaldy way, I think. But not sure.

Edit 2: Sail Doctor had to wait for calm to do his measuring and template making - not so common on the Forth. He said they had just ordered a digital measuring system which should make that task easier.
