The Barient 28 winches on our new-to-us C&C 37 are in great shape but lack winch covers. My Lewmar hatches also need protective canvas. Seeking recommended sources/ideas for winch and hatch covers.

You can make your own, instructions and materials are available at Sailrite.com
There are also some commercial covers for both the winches and the hatches. The hatch covers are made of PVC.

If you are in the general Portland area, call Kerry at North Sails (and canvas). Good quality work, and I find their prices competitive.
Hayden Island Canvas is equally recommended.

Don't forget to dance with the one that brought you. The SBO canvass shop has winch covers and other canvass items.
A few years back, I was able to order the exact size for 4 winches and Sunbrella colour to match the rest of our boat's canvas material from an ebay shop in NJ. I couldn't find that store but do see a similar one.

Recommend you try to make your own. Once you get started there are so many things around your boat that you can do with minimal $$s and you learn something.
