Default Winter Cover Material


Sunbrella?


I have see 20 years of service from a full (38') Sunbrella cover for my last
sail boat. It went into the shop about once every 5 years for minor repairs,
due to chafe and towards its end we put a new layer of Subrella at the
peak/high stress area.

Most of this time period was in So. Calif. (LA smog area).

The cover cost the previous owner about $1500 in '76 and it was turned over
to the the fellow I sold the boat to in '96.

However, ya gotta be careful that your canvas shop is going to use True
Sunbrella. Some will insist that what they use is 'just as good'..
