What economical suggs do y'all have for winter covers for 28 footer sloop, short or near $4000 for a new sunbrella cover??

Shipshape Canvas, based in Duluth.


I couldn't tell you the cost now but in 2016 they quoted me $2000 for a basic cover for a 33.5, and $2400 for the deluxe.

High quality covers and great customer service.

Yes...Shipshape is the answer. They already have the patterns for many boats. I've had mine for about 10 years through some miserable Kansas winters - and it still looks very, very good with little wear.

I use two 18' x 24' heavy duty tarps mounted over a home built frame.
$120 for two of them.

Google "Billboard tarps" and see if any of the available sizes would work for your boat.

Two years ago, I bought a used, 2014 Catalina 315, which came with a cover from Shipshape. I was so amazed with the quality and the attention to detail on this cover that I was compelled to write to the company and tell them. Should I need a new cover, they'd be my first choice.

The 2016 Marlow-hunter 37 we just bought came with a Shipshape cover. One night I emailed the company with a question and the owner himself responded within an hour, at 8pm.
