Winter cover 1986 36-2

[NYSail]

hello, boat is covered (shrink wrapped) and finally tired of paying $500+ per year. Tarps not a great choice with mast up. Got a quote from fairclough in ct.... Would love to know what others have bought / experience.
Thanks

I would check out those guys in Bayshore. They advertise in the magazines. Or if you want one that fits like a glove and are willing to pay, Mills Brothers here in Greenport. You can see some of their covers at Brick Cove Marina - or at least there were some. I had a Fairclough. PM me about it. Are you going to put it up and take it down every year?

Correction: Northeastern Canvas is in Northport. They make what they call a Noreaster which covers the deck but not the topsides. It has less framing that a full cover and may be a lot easier to put up.

I was lucky and mine came with the boat. I love it. We give her a good wash down and cover it up. About 5 months on not accumulating dirt and bird droppings. Another plus is it stays warmer. We can go down inside and work on projects with just a little heater. My opinion is it's worth the money.

I bought a new cover for this winter and put it on last Sunday. It looks great, time will tell how it will do. Got it from http://www.northshorecanvas.net/56201.html

ShipShape makes covers that look much like those from Northshore Canvas. ShipShape is in Duluth, but they ship nationwide. I bought one just recently, but there are many in the Duluth area that appear to be holding up nicely.
