New top cover?

I think Waveloft are making the Sprint 15 covers supplied by Windsport. Very pleased with mine so far. Thoughtful design tough material and fits well.

Try allgoodfun.com. Very friendly and i suspect a very reasonable price
Cheers,

The sail register breathable cover I have has lasted very well indeed, and was far cheaper than any "brand name". I agree with the comments about the PVC ones, though, the top seems to flake off after a season or so.

A breathable cover, made by a sailmaker like P&B or direct from LDC, will provide the best protection for the boat.

A solid PVC cover can end up resting on the decks and prevent them from drying out - with a risk of disclouration, mould and even osmosis occuring.

 

Why not go to LDC and buy one of their covers? They know the boats, and presumably know what is best for them. Or go to Pete Vincent, who sails, tunes, sells and repairs them, and ask him!

Sorry to be a party pooper but my personal experience of Sail Register Covers to date has not been good. Unless they have changed the material they use recently I would not recommend them. I purchased two covers from them for a Sprint 15 and a Comet at about the same time. The material they used on my covers seemed to be an outer PVC shell laminated to a polyester inner shell which on the face of it seemed a good idea. The covers were also competitively priced. However, after a couple of seasons seperation of the shells became evident and after that the outer shell just started to disappear completely. I sold the Comet this year at a reduced price to reflect the value of a new cover required and scrapped the Sprint 15 cover in favour of a much tougher one marketed by Windsport. Other Sprint 15 owners have commented similarly. My N12 has a P&B breathable cover which is old but with reproofing just seems to go on an on.

Perhaps i am being unreasonable but I would have thought a PVC cover should be able to withstand the elements for more than a few seasons.
