Looking for a mooring/dock cover for my 240. Would like a Sailor Tailor cover but they hav no template for 240. Would anyone know where to get a measured schematic of the deck topside or a company that already makes a 240 cover?

I can tell you, no cover will work when trailering the 240. I sent you a private message but no response. Unless you can get a local company to come measure for a cover, you will probably have to transport your boat to a mfg. if no one has measurements for the 240. I believe Sailor’s Taylor is in Ohio and because they are well known for quality, I would take a 240 to measure. Former dealer involved with the design of your boat

Good boat canvas tailors will come out and measure on the boat, usually using plastic panels. No one like that where you are?

I could not respond to private massage. Sailors tailor is 8.5 hrs away. Locally I was told it would be around a year to get it made.
I was hoping someone would have had one made already that could recommend a manufacturer. I do not plan on needing this for
trailering. Just an easy to set cover to keep the decks/cockpit clean between uses at my dock.

Hi Dave!
Thank you so very much for responding to my quarry. I’ve always heard good things about you!
l can’t believe, with the popularity of the boat, that no one has a pattern or the measurements available.

SailorTaylor said they do not have a pattern for 240. they would have to start from scratch, so the unusu long wait.
they do have a pattern for a 260 Hunter. I’m sure it could We made it to work, (2 feet shorter 8 inches narrower)

They do offer a deck layout notating safety line stantions and cleat location for a Catalina 22. That boat is very close in dimensions to a 240. any help will be greatly appreciated!
best regards,
Kevin

@LEDMELON

spoke with your dad, know where you lived and work for, know who you bought your sailboat from and advised your dad. Even advised where the first water ballast hunter was conceived. If you need my help, call. You have my number via your dad

The wife made a cover like you describe for our 240. A two piece with the front from the bow to the windshield and the rear fro top of windshield to stern with a zipper in the area where the main sheet goes from boom to floor

The two pieces are attached at the stancions with bike helmet type snaps. We became whizzes with snaps and grommets… lol

Sailors Tailor is excellent but they are slow, as well. It took nearly 6mo for me to get my mainsail cover, but I was very happy with the quality when I did get it. I also ordered some winch covers but I’m not crazy about those.
