Canvas Boat Covers

By Elizabeth Morgan


Come winter and it is time to put away your boat till you are in a position to use it again. A boat, which is not in use, can become a playground for mice, which, after making themselves at home will spare no efforts in gnawing away at your seats or nipping at the wiring. If rodents are not enough, it is the reality of the harsh weather. The result is that you will find your precious investment at the receiving end of the snow, rain or storm. It will so happen that when it is one again time to cruise away on your boat, you may end up with an additional expenditure to make it re-usable again. This can be prevented if you take the precaution of putting it under a boat cover.

Think of the boat covers and canvas boat covers arise as a feasible option. This more so, if you wan to keep your boat camped outside, as it is absolutely essential for you to inspect your boat, every now and then.

Canvas boat covers are an ideal option for outdoor storage, in that they keep the harsh elements of nature at bay and protect the boat against water, snow, and ice. Once you have decided that the canvas cover is the best option for your boat, you then need to do a bit of comparative studies because many variations of the canvas boat covers are available in the market. The best way to do is by surfing the net.

You will come across many companies advertising these covers. You will also come across companies providing discounts for online purchases. A thorough search will require a little effort on your part, but if you are able to get your canvas cover with all requisite features, at a reasonable price, then the entire effort will be well worth it. Also, while searching you may fund many companies offering customized canvas boat covers.

Do consider this option, because customized weatherproof canvas covers will give your boat a perfect fit and help in increasing its life span. The main features associated with boat covers include their strength and durability and their ability to repel water and at the same allow the boat breathe. All these features are associated with the canvas boat cover.

Hints On fiberglass ski boat

Some of the more advanced inflatable boats, like Zodiac's Fastroller, feature a special High-Pressure inflatable air floor. Made of two layers of fabric, connected by thousands of tiny "drop stitches", this floor can be inflated to a high pressure, creating a floor with rigidity equal to sheet of plywood a fraction of the weight. Best of all, they can be completely deflated and stowed in only minutes without removing any parts. This high pressure air floor is softer on knees and backsides too.


Much like a motorcycle, acceleration in a jet ski is provided by a hand-powered throttle located on the right-side grip. By twisting the throttle, the driver can increase power to the motor. Steering a jet ski requires a combination of pointing the front-mounted grips and maneuvering the body. Unlike a street motorcycle, a jet ski often requires significant acceleration to accomplish sharp turns in the water.

Luxury sailing yachts generally 82 ft or longer, in recent years, these yachts have evolved from fairly simple vessels with basic accommodation into sophisticated and luxurious boats. This is largely due to reduced hull-building costs brought about by the introduction of fibreglass hulls, and increased automation and "production line" techniques for yacht building, especially in Europe.

Ciguatera, A Danger For Yacht Crews Sailing In The Tropics

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 12:09:24 +0200
When catching dinner, how concerned are cruisers and sailors about catching fish which carry the Ciguatera toxin? I only know what amounts to 'folklore'. In Australian waters many anglers avoid eating large fish which are known to dwell amid coral reefs. The parrot fish (beautiful fillets!!) is known to be particularly prone to Ciguatera. I understand that fish caught in deep water, or away from coral, do not carry Ciguatera. Is this correct?
