Polyester/pvc

Manufactured from a high tenacity polyester base fabric with a coating of a flexible plasticised PVC on both sides. Very strong and completely waterproof

medium weight is 360 grams/sq metre, which provides excellent service and is easier to handle than heavier material (and costs less as well !).

Acrylic Canvas, is available in a large choice of colours.

Acrylic canvas is a modern version of old-fashioned canvas, in the sense that it is a woven textile. The main difference is that it is woven with a man-made thread (acrylic) which means it is much stronger than traditional canvas (so it can be thinner for the same strength, and therefore lighter to handle).

The company we buy it from is Kayospruce; you can see the colours at Sauleda Acrylic Canvas U/C (>> on the left choose 150cm width >> finally choose your colour); just tell us which colour you want and we will do the rest. Unfortunately it is rather more expensive than the polyester/pvc above.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

You will need fixings for attaching your cratch cover. You may already have these; if not, we can supply them.

Turnbuttons to attach your cover to your cratch board

We suggest one at the end of each straight section, and the rest at about 6"/150mm intervals.

Ball loop and lacing hook pair to attach your cover to the hull, and, if needed, to the gunwale.

We suggest one at the end of each straight section, and the rest at about 8"/200mm intervals; we will automatically add a webbing loop to attach each ball loop to your cratch cover. You must tell us if there is any place where you cannot fix a ball loop/lacing hook.
