Boat Covers - Its Countless Uses

By David Faulkner

One should not entertain a second thought when buying boat covers. Their function should not be underestimated. Boat covers are the fastest and most economical way of protecting your boat. Investing in one would not be a waste since its use can be maximized over extensive storage time especially during the winter season.

Boat covers can also be utilized during sailing, hauling, and docking. As such, they can be tailor-made or semi-tailor made lift canopies designed for every boat that you can imagine.

There are tailor-made boat covers for a specific brand, built, and type of boat. Darts and tugs make it possible for boat covers to fit the boats to a T and thus offer maximum protection. The materials are of high-grade marine canvas but are reasonably priced.

These, plus the experienced craftsmanship involved in producing such boat covers, explain their popularity among customers. These are generally water-resistant boat covers. There are others that are made from tarpaulin. Either way, these serve useful functions in docking, winter storage, sailing, new or used boats, ski boats, pontoon, fishing, deck boats, v-hull, tri-hull, inflatable, or bass boats.

There are also boat covers with a wide range of fabrics of different hues to match the boat�s color. The fabrics are not of the ordinary kind. They are strong and durable and are cured against sun, mold, and mildew harshness. They are also made to be flexible, unbreakable, or not easily worn.

Product standards ascertain the boat covers' durability and strength. The main fabric material is further strengthened and protected by a heavy vinyl sewn as an underlining in particularly weak areas. The seams are sewn with two- to four-ply double stitches using thread that is rot- and mildew-resistant.

As an added reinforcement, ultraviolet-resistant polyester rope is stitched on the hem surrounding with durable web tie-down loops and D-rings to ensure the secureness of the boat covers.

The semi-tailored boat covers are also available in a wide array of shapes to suit different types of boats. They also offer similar protection and resistance features as their tailor-made counterparts. Boat lift canopies, while providing a certain degree of protection, are not as extensive as the tailor-made or semi-tailor made boat covers.

Boat covers may be obtained directly from suppliers and distributors and carry a five-year warranty on the products.

Hints On sea ray jet boat

There is no engineering limit to the size of jet boats, though the validity of their use depends a lot on the type of application. Classic prop-drives are generally more efficient and economical at low speeds (up to about 20 knots) but as boat speed increases beyond this the extra hull resistance generated by struts, rudders, shafts etc means waterjets are more efficient in the 20-50 knot range. Also, in situations where you need very large propellers turning at slow speeds (such as tug boats) the equivalent size waterjet would be simply too big to be practical. For these reasons the vast majority of waterjet units are installed in high speed vessels and in particular situations where shallow draught, manoeuvrability and load flexibility are main concerns.

Looking For Experienced Crew - Long Term Available

Tue, 27 May 2008 21:08:48 +0200
Hello everyone! I am at a crossroads in my life and am excited for the next adventure. My plan is to purchase a sailboat with the proceeds from the sale of my business and live/cruise/relax/explore for 6 months of the year- every year! (if anyone has any recommendations for what I should buy - I'm all ears - I'm looking to spend around $200kusd and like the idea of a multi hull) I have limited sailing experience but am certified in advanced navigation standard and off shore cruising standard by CYA. Because of my limited on water experience I am looking for an experienced person to be the "captain" of the boat and teach me along the way! Hopefully the candidate will be easy to get a long with and will be able to stay with the boat long term. (I will need someone to sail/maintain her when I'm not there for 6 months of the year!) The crew will only be expected to contribute an equal share of the cost of food and drinks. All boat costs (fuel, fees, marinas, etc.,) will be covered by me!. Each person is to cover their own travel expenses to/from the boat and their costs of personal visas, etc.

Families expelled from the Chagos Islands by the British have won their legal battle for the right to return home at the Court of Appeal. Some 2,000 residents were forced out when the British colony in the Indian Ocean was leased to the US in the 1960s to build an air base at Diego Garcia.
