The time has come to replace the top cover for my Comet dinghy. Does anyone have any make they can recommend? Who makes the most user friendly covers? (I tend to store my mast sections and boom under the cover)

I recently bought a polycotton one from Sail Register very good fit and quality - good price too. I've just ordered a trailing cover from them.

Sun & Rain look to be equally good looking around the dinghy park - but SR are just a bit cheaper.

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

I've had fantastic covers from P&B and Sun and Rain. Probably two of the most expensive options, but quality products that do last.

Rain and Sun do very good covers, they recently did an excellent branded cover for me.

I have had top covers from both speedsails and LDC (RS) and they last for ages but are not the cheapest.

I have found a company called cbcoverstore which seems to use the same material and are significantly cheaper than the main companies. That said I have not seen one as yet. Might be worth a try?
