Great mainsail cover - fast turnaround.

Posted by Toby Gandy on 19th Mar 2024

Perfect fit and well made. This cover has a few features our old cover didn't have (eg velcro closure around the mast). Good value and looks great on our boat.

Posted by John Caunter on 13th Mar 2024

Good news: I’m very impressed with the quality of the cover and the craftsmanship of the work in building the cover. Unknown news: It’s winter in New England! Boat is on the hard and wearing its’ cover; no mast no boom. We’ll have to wait a while to assess the fit.

Posted by Scott on 7th Mar 2024

High quality and fits like a glove. Plus I got it quickly.

New sail cover

Posted by Peter Hatch on 26th Feb 2024

Needed new main sail cover. Boat has 3 Dutchman support lines that are part of the design. I sent measurements as well as the old cover. In 2 weeks a perfectly build mainsail cover arrived. We couldn't be happier with the workmanship and accuracy of the fit. Very satisfied and would recommend Lee to any mariner.

Posted by Bill C. on 22nd Feb 2024

Good material and workmanship, but the cover is a bit loose despite my measurements.

Posted by Jarin on 22nd Feb 2024

Really impressed! Ordered on a Monday received my cover by Saturday. Quality seems good and fits great

Great product and wonderful service. I was immediately impressed that a knowledgeable and friendly human answered the phone right away. She answered my questions and was the very person that would make the product and was finished in just a couple days. I had the perfect cover by the end of that week! Tpp quality workmanship. Very pleased indeed.

View our recent work, read our faq, frequently asked questions, what distinguishes a custom cover from a universal cover.

A custom cover is tailored to fit a specific boat manufacturer, while a Universal cover is designed to accommodate boats based on their measurements.

Could you elaborate on the distinctions between Down, Up, and Mid-Position?

The Down position involves raising the boat’s engine to its maximum height, with propellers suspended in the air. In the Up position, the engine is set in the drive position for water use. The Mid-position entails elevating the engine to a 45-degree angle, suitable for road travel.

What should I do if my boat manufacturer or model is not listed?

If your boat’s details are not listed, we can potentially create a cover based on accurate measurements. In such cases, a universal cover will be crafted, and we will require boat dimensions, including Length, Width, and height from the rub rails.

How are your covers designed?

Our covers typically feature a bungee cord sewn around the bottom to securely fasten to the rub rails on the boat, ensuring a snug fit.

What if my model is not listed under cushions?

For unlisted models, providing dimensions, paper or plastic patterns of the cushions enables us to create a customized set for your specific needs.

Could you elaborate on the materials used for your cushions?

Our cushions are crafted using waterproof and durable 1 7/8” Ensolite density foam. The covering is made of Sunsure marine fabric mesh or Sunbrella Horizon Marine Vinyl, incorporating piping on the top and bottom, and a zipper enclosure either on the bottom or at the back of each cushion.

What materials are employed in the fabrication of your main Sail Covers?

Our main Sail Covers are constructed using Sunbrella awning marine canvas, backed by a 10-year warranty. Optional features such as cutouts, dutchman, and lazy jacks are available with provided measurements. The covers include a zipper with a Velcro flap along the mast, and the enclosure for the boom can be secured with either nylon fastener clips or stainless steel twist locks.

Building a custom sail cover

Protect your boat's sails and rigging from the elements by building a custom sail cover tailored to your sail's exact dimensions. Our guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating a durable and protective cover.

Building a Custom Sail Cover

Sail covers are an essential part of maintaining your boat’s sails and rigging. They protect your sails from the elements, prolonging their life and ensuring they remain in good working order. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of building a custom sail cover for your boat, ensuring it fits perfectly and provides the best possible protection for your sails.

Table of Contents

Why build a custom sail cover, materials and tools needed, measuring your sail, creating a pattern, cutting and sewing the fabric, adding fasteners and hardware, final thoughts.

While there are many pre-made sail covers available on the market, building a custom sail cover has several advantages:

  • Perfect Fit: A custom sail cover will be tailored to the exact dimensions of your sail, ensuring a snug and secure fit that provides optimal protection.
  • Material Choice: By building your own sail cover, you can choose the material that best suits your needs and preferences, whether it’s durability, UV resistance, or aesthetics.
  • Cost Savings: Building a custom sail cover can be more cost-effective than purchasing a pre-made cover, especially if you have access to discounted or leftover materials.
  • Personalization: A custom sail cover allows you to add your own personal touch, whether it’s a specific color, pattern, or design.

Before you begin building your custom sail cover, you’ll need to gather the following materials and tools:

  • Fabric: Choose a durable, UV-resistant fabric that is suitable for outdoor use. Some popular options include Sunbrella, Top Gun, and Weathermax.
  • Thread: Select a UV-resistant thread that is compatible with your chosen fabric. Polyester or PTFE threads are recommended.
  • Fasteners: You’ll need a variety of fasteners to secure your sail cover, such as snaps, twist locks, or Velcro.
  • Hardware: Depending on your boat’s rigging, you may need additional hardware such as grommets, D-rings, or webbing straps.
  • Measuring Tape: A flexible measuring tape is essential for taking accurate measurements of your sail.
  • Scissors: You’ll need a sharp pair of scissors to cut your fabric and thread.
  • Sewing Machine: A heavy-duty sewing machine is recommended for sewing through thick fabric and multiple layers.
  • Seam Ripper: This tool is useful for removing stitches if you make a mistake during sewing.
  • Pins or Clips: Use pins or clips to hold your fabric in place while sewing.
  • Chalk or Fabric Marker: A chalk or fabric marker is helpful for marking measurements and cutting lines on your fabric.

Before you can create a pattern for your custom sail cover, you’ll need to take accurate measurements of your sail. Follow these steps to ensure you have the correct dimensions:

  • Measure the Length: With your sail fully hoisted, measure the length of the sail along the boom, from the mast to the end of the boom. Add an additional 6 inches to this measurement to allow for seams and fasteners.
  • Measure the Width: Measure the width of your sail at its widest point, typically near the middle of the sail. Add an additional 6 inches to this measurement to allow for seams and fasteners.
  • Measure the Height: Measure the height of your sail from the boom to the top of the sail, along the mast. Add an additional 6 inches to this measurement to allow for seams and fasteners.

Once you have your sail measurements, you can create a pattern for your custom sail cover. Follow these steps to create an accurate pattern:

  • Draw a Rectangle: On a large piece of paper or cardboard, draw a rectangle using the length and width measurements you took earlier. This will represent the main body of your sail cover.
  • Add Seam Allowances: Add a 1-inch seam allowance around the entire perimeter of the rectangle. This will ensure you have enough fabric to sew your seams and attach fasteners.
  • Mark the Height: Along one of the long sides of the rectangle, mark the height measurement you took earlier. This will represent the top edge of your sail cover.
  • Create a Slope: Draw a line from the top edge of the sail cover (the height mark) to the bottom corner of the rectangle on the same side. This will create a sloping edge that will follow the shape of your sail.
  • Cut Out the Pattern: Carefully cut out your pattern along the seam allowance lines.

With your pattern ready, it’s time to cut and sew your custom sail cover. Follow these steps to ensure a professional-looking result:

  • Cut the Fabric: Lay your fabric out on a flat surface and place your pattern on top. Use chalk or a fabric marker to trace the pattern onto the fabric, then carefully cut out the fabric along the traced lines.
  • Sew the Seams: Fold the fabric along the seam allowance lines, with the right sides of the fabric facing each other. Pin or clip the fabric in place, then use your sewing machine to sew a straight stitch along the seam allowance lines. Be sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam to secure the stitches.
  • Reinforce the Corners: To ensure your sail cover can withstand the stress of being pulled tight over your sail, reinforce the corners by sewing a second row of stitches approximately 1/4 inch from the first row.
  • Hem the Edges: Fold the raw edges of the fabric under by 1/2 inch and pin or clip in place. Sew a straight stitch along the folded edge to create a clean, finished hem.

Once your sail cover is sewn, it’s time to add fasteners and any necessary hardware. Follow these steps to ensure a secure fit:

  • Mark Fastener Locations: With your sail cover in place on your boat, use chalk or a fabric marker to mark the locations where fasteners will be attached. Be sure to space the fasteners evenly along the length of the sail cover and consider the locations of any existing hardware on your boat.
  • Install Fasteners: Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install your chosen fasteners (snaps, twist locks, or Velcro) at the marked locations. Be sure to reinforce the fabric around the fasteners with additional stitching or webbing, if necessary.
  • Add Hardware: If your sail cover requires additional hardware, such as grommets or D-rings, install these according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to reinforce the fabric around the hardware with additional stitching or webbing, if necessary.

Building a custom sail cover for your boat is a rewarding project that can save you money and provide a perfect fit for your sail. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can create a durable, protective cover that will prolong the life of your sail and keep your boat looking its best.

Remember to choose high-quality materials and take your time with each step of the process to ensure a professional-looking result. With a little patience and attention to detail, you’ll have a custom sail cover that you can be proud of and that will serve you well for years to come.

Stackpacks & Sailcovers

We can offer single or two part stackpacks depending on your requirements and the stack height of your boat. Our standard stackpack design is a single section product, which starts behind the mast, and has a gusset sewn in at the front to protect the mainsail from the elements. We would highly recommend this over the two part version, however are happy to work to your requirements.

The below features are standard on all of our stackpacks:

  • The main/central zip is covered with a binding on each side to protect it from UV damage, as well as helping to prevent water ingress
  • Mesh base to prevent the build up of water and facilitate drainage
  • Reef zips instead of slots cut into the stackpack
  • Roll up clips for club racing or extended cruising to reduce chafe on lazyjacks
  • Extra stiff ocean racer batten
  • Integral batten pockets
  • Re-enforced lazyjack take off points
  • Removable/integral awnings upgrades available

Standard stackpacks

Stackpacks with side awnings.

To help with sun and rain protection in the cockpit we can include either removable or integral side awnings.

For those customers who do not require a stackpack we can produce a sail cover to suit. These covers include a mast collar, vertical zip down the front of the mast and webbing/clips to seal the cover under the boom.

Two weeks later: The hunt for missing Mizzou student Riley Strain in Nashville

sail cover yacht

Friday marks two weeks since a University of Missouri college senior vanished under the cover night in downtown Nashville.

Riley Strain, 22, disappeared March 8 after being kicked out of a bar along Lower Broadway in Music City's entertainment district known as honky-tonk row.

So far, there has been no indication of foul play in the missing person's case, Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson Brooke Reece told USA TODAY on Thursday.

This week,  body camera footage  was released, with a portion showing Strain’s brief interaction with a Metro police officer the day he vanished, The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network reported.

On Thursday, Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron told USA TODAY Strain "visited several establishments in the area that Friday afternoon and evening."

Boats with sonar scouring Cumberland River

The police department is handling the missing person investigation with help from Nashville Office of Emergency Management and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Now in its second week , the search lead authorities to find Strain’s  bank card on the embankment of the Cumberland River, a major waterway of the South which weaves through downtown Nashville and eventually flows back north into Kentucky.

The US Army Corps of Engineers shut a damn off in the river on Wednesday and boats equipped with sonar were in the water on Thursday searching for Riley, Aaron said.

“The parked barges collect debris around them, so we are going through the barge debris fields as well as keeping an eye on the river,” Aaron said.

The Cheatham County Sheriff's Office, directly west of Davidson County where Nashville is located, is also assisting with the missing persons case, Reece said, because MNPD's river coverage stops at the county line.

So far, Nashville Crime Stoppers has received more than 160 tips regarding his possible whereabouts.

“Some theories, some thoughts,” Aaron said.

Additional enlisted help from United Cajun Navy

During a Tuesday press conference in Nashville, Strain's stepfather, Chris Whiteid, announced his family had enlisted help from the United Cajun Navy to find him.

While Whiteid said Strain's family is grateful for the help from local police and volunteers, more aide is needed "to bring Riley home," The Tennessean reported.

“(United Cajun Navy) is an extra resource for us,” Whiteid said at the press conference. “We’re 10-11 days into this… As the days drag on, we are frustrated. We know (Metro Police) are doing their jobs.”

Strain's mother also spoke briefly during the news conference, video footage provided by The Tennessean shows.

"He's my best friend, my everything," Michelle Strain Whiteid, said through tears as she held her husband's arm.

'No closer to finding Riley'

In another development this week, Chris Dingman, a family friend reported the last known communication Strain had was a text message he sent to a woman he was talking to.

“She texted him to see how he was doing... if he was having fun. He sent kind of a scripted text back to her saying ‘Good (what appears to read the word luck),'” Dingman said during an interview Monday on NewsNation’s “ Elizabeth Vargas Reports .”

"We're no closer to finding Riley.... We've even reached out to the TBI ( Tennessee Bureau of Investigation ) for help," Dingman said during the interview. "How does a 6'5'', 6'6'', blonde hair, blue-eyed guy disappear? We just want Riley home. He’s a great kid.”

On Thursday, Reece told USA TODAY the TBI is not involved in the hunt.

More volunteers needed

David Flagg, director of operations for the United Cajun Navy, said while his organization largely responds to natural disasters, it also supports missing persons cases.

“I would encourage any volunteers who have been here to please come under the umbrella of the United Cajun Navy search,” Flagg said.

Anyone with information about Riley's whereabouts is asked to call Nashville police.

‘Below Deck’ Sails Into a New Era

With a different captain at the helm and new production elements, the reality show about charter yachts is switching up its style.

A man in a crew member suit stands behind a bar and tends to flowers in a vase.

By Shivani Gonzalez

Starting a new season of “ Below Deck ” can be similar to returning to summer camp as a kid — you know it’s going to be fun and that you’ll be in the same environment, but some of the people will be different and you’re not quite sure what the vibes will be.

This time around, in particular, feels that way because for the first time in the show’s 11-season run, Captain Lee Rosbach is no longer at the helm. It’s a pivotal moment for a franchise that has become one of the most popular entities in the sprawling universe of reality TV since premiering on Bravo in 2013 . The show’s appeal was built on endless romances between various crew members (“boatmances,” as they came to be known), horrible charter guests and some sort of passive-aggressive fight about how many shackles of the anchor chain should be in the water. And there was always Rosbach presiding over the drama as he trudged around the boat, reeling off one liners like “I’m madder than a pissed-on chicken” and “we screwed the pooch so many times we should have a litter of puppies running around.”

At the center of the show now is Kerry Titheradge (the stern yet goofy captain of “Below Deck Adventure” fame), who is managing the Motor Yacht Saint David with the cheeky chief stew Fraser Olender by his side.

With that change in captain, the energy on the boat — both onscreen and off — is different, according to Olender.

“Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” Olender said in an interview. “With Kerry, he taught me a lot and sort of forced to me confront issues directly with my team, work them out, as opposed to making executive decisions too soon.”

This shift in management style changes the central conflict — whereas the drama once focused on the captain swiftly kicking out any unpleasant crew member (as we might have seen with Rosbach), the drama now focuses on the whole crew trying to get along (since Titheradge gives people those second chances).

Additionally, Olender noted that the captain’s relationship with the crew can also affect the drama on board.

“Captains absolutely do get involved, whether they know it or not,” Olender said, adding that for the crew, everything is about “trying to impress your captain.”

This phenomenon plays out early in the new season when the lead deckhand, Ben Willoughby, called out a fellow crew member over the radios about not wearing a life vest — something he easily could have done in private. The drama that followed became an interpersonal conflict between the two of them, both with the ultimate goal of impressing Titheradge. (Of course, the two deckhands had kissed on the previous crew night out, which is more in line with the “Below Deck” drama viewers are used to.)

For “Below Deck” showrunners, the changeovers in the cast allowed them to rethink what the show would look like.

From the season premiere, it was immediately apparent that Rosbach’s absence wasn’t the only change this season: The filming is sleeker, the daily, multicourse meals prepared by the chef are given their own glamour shots and the cameras sometimes cut to the perspectives of yachties running around on deck and through the galley.

“Our showrunner, Lauren Simms, is an avid consumer of all different kinds of media,” Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, said in an interview. “She pitches us different ideas on how to stylistically evoke different feelings and change the mood a little bit of ‘Below Deck’ without removing what really works.”

Moving through the rest of the season, and potentially through seasons to come, Olender is aiming to bring a cutthroat management style while also bringing affection for his stews, all with his signature British humor.

On Bravo’s side, there are changes in the works for the other “Below Deck” spinoffs — including “Sailing Yacht,” “Mediterranean” and “Down Under” — which collectively, have 26 seasons. Specifically, Samton said that “Down Under” is currently filming and that even though fans should be ready to see new things, the show will stay true to its original concept.

“These are real yachties doing a real job so you have to stay within those confines because the audience isn’t going to want anything that is too produced or fake,” Samton said. “So we have to find ways to reinvent while staying true to the original concept of the show.”

And as Olender said: “I’m sure that every year if I were to work with this franchise again, that I’ll be thrown a collection of total chaotic and disastrous stews — that’s what makes it watchable.”

An earlier version of this article misquoted Fraser Olender, the chief stew of “Below Deck.” He said, “I also feel like Kerry this season. ... Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” not “I feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to Lee, has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him.”

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas

  • The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
  • Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
  • These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

Insider Today

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter) Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.

Joy: 70 meters

Price: From $650,000 a week Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor

Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.

There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

Triumph: 65.4 meters

Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter) Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Come Together: 60 meters

Price: $65,000,000 Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.

Racing yacht runs aground at Lyttelton days before Sail GP regatta

A 12m racing yacht has beached in Lyttelton Harbour days before Christchurch hosts the glitzy international Sail GP regatta.

The Harbourmaster’s Office at Environment Canterbury said it was notified of a recreational vessel aground near Pāua-o-Hinekotau Head, west of Te Waipapa/Diamond Harbour on Wednesday evening.

“All five crew were rescued by the Coastguard and returned safely to Lyttelton [on Wednesday] night,” said Environment Canterbury’s regional on-scene commander, Emma Parr.

The racing yacht remains aground at the base of a cliff with difficult access by foot.

The yacht has 15 litres of diesel on board, in sealed tanks, but Parr says the risk of environmental damage from its grounding is low.

“Weather conditions are not favourable today, which means that a safe recovery attempt may not be possible prior to SailGP,” she said.

Around 22,000 people are expected to flock to Lyttelton over this weekend to watch the Sail GP event.

Lyttelton Port was closed overnight as a precaution due to the vessel being unsecured and the potential of floating debris.

“The yacht has remained in the same position but is significantly damaged. It is now secure via ropes to the shore,” she said.

Environment Canterbury says it’s monitoring the situation closely and working with the owner, insurers and salvors to collect debris as required.

“There may be loose debris under the surface of the water. We are asking the public to stay well clear of this operational area,” Parr said.

The international sailing competition set for Lyttelton Habour this weekend, SailGP , will still go ahead as planned.

The grounding comes after a clam fishing trawler ran aground on Waikuku Beach on Monday.

Maritime NZ sent investigations staff to the scene to start inquiries. The investigation into the grounding is ongoing.

The Herald understands the boat has since been moved back into the water without any damage.
