CRATCH COVERS
Traditional Cratch Covers are made to fit over a wooden A-Frame & Top Plank. A popular option is to have external window covers which help protect the windows from the effects of UV and general weathering, as seen in this example.
This cover is made from Forest Green "Weathermax 80" Marine Polyester with matching edge-binding.

CRUISER STERN CANOPIES
The stern deck of a Cruiser Stern boat converts to an extra room for storage, changing out of wet clothes or simply chilling with a glass of wine on the deck.
The most popular comment we hear from customers after fitting a cruiser stern canopy is...
"I don't know how we ever managed without one!"
The fabric of choice for this canopy was Dark Blue Acrylic Canvas with Light Charcoal edge-binding.

FOLDING CRATCH HOODS
A single stainless steel hoop provides the support for this popular cratch cover. This design creates more useable space in the cratch and is extremely flexible in use. It can easily be collapsed or completely removed if required or, with the side panels out and the front window rolled up can provide overhead protection from the elements making this a truly multi-functional design.
FABRIC: Weathermax 80 Royal Blue with White edge-binding.

EURO-CRUISER STERN CANOPY
This stunning Widebeam Eurocriuiser required 1" gauge stainless steel tubing to span the cavernous cockpit. It's the only cockpit we've seen that can take 6 passengers/crew and still maintain social distancing!
FABRIC: Weathermax 80 Black with Burgundy edge-binding.

SEMI TRADITIONAL STERN PRAMHOOD
Although the cockpit of a Semi-Trad is usually much smaller than a Cruiser-Stern, it can provide a great usable space. A pramhood-style canopy provodes shelter for the cockpit and also significantly reduces heat loss from inside the boat, effectivley insulating against the elements.
FABRIC: Acrylic Canvas - Black with matching edge-binding.

TRADITIONAL STERN CANOPY
It's not often we get to make a Trad-Stern canopy as most simply don't have enough deck space to be practical. However, this boat was an ideal candidate and the client opted for this striking two-tone design to match their paintwork.
FABRIC: Weathermax 80 Pacific Blue & Oyster with Pacific Blue edge-binding.

CRUISER CANOPIES
Unlike steel canal boats, GRP Cruisers rely on a good canopy to protect the cockpit as it is an integral part of the boat's design. It is important to balance functioanality with style to provide the most effective solution. This canopy was redesigned to give more headroom towards the stern and a roll-up rear window cover for privacy.
FABRIC: Acrylic Canvas - Linen Tweed with Sandstone edge-binding.
