What should I be paying for a cockpit enclosure?

I have a Habitent.It is not intended to be a permanent solution but is used a few days at a time.It is well constructed and goes up easily.

Jon, there's a local company 'Hamble Cover Services' located at the
Mercury Yacht Harbour who do Boat covers and upholstery and are at www.hamblesailingservices.co.uk or on 02380 456354/02380 455868.

Yet another local one is crystalcovers.com or at sales@crystalcovers.com
phone number 02392 380143.

One more to try is Philip Bull at Rain & Sun cover in Bevois Valley Southampton .Phil lives at Warsash so is handy for measuring up - he's a club member at WSC.

Might be worth getting next year's River Hamble Handbook from the Harbourmasters office which has an Marine directory and the year's Portsmouth tide tables within !

Ian

Thanks for the heads up Ian.

Jim.

I have been looking at the Habitent on line, it's certainly a cheaper option than bespoke made covers. How adjustable are they to insure fewer gaps around the bottom? How sturdy are they if its windy?

Thanks Jim
