Welcome to the forum!!

These guys make bow covers: Hunter 170 - Bow Cover

Suggest doing an internet search on "used asymmetrical sail" and input your boat's I (18.95 ft) and J (5.54 ft) measurements to find one that fits. I can offer up used sail lofts if you wish.


Spinnaker sizing guideline: The rule of thumb for the spinnaker size is the luffs = I. The foot should be between 1.6 x J and 2 x J. Many cruising boats are now using “Poleless Spinnakers.” The luff on poleless spinnakers should not exceed the I or the full size genoa luff. The foot should be between 1.6 and 1.8 x J.

On the cover either white or gray to minimize heat. Cover should be supported off the deck with supports or halyard. Insert two vents on top of cover. If not heat buildup under any cover without the suggestions will damage your 170. Former Hunter dealer.

Having owned a 2005 H170 anything H170 on ebay always peaks my interest. I've seen used covers on ebay go reasonably.
