Frequently Asked Questions
Customization is the best solution for this. To get the tarpaulin as tight as possible around your boat you can use a sail tensioner.
You place this under the tarpaulin. This gives a sleek optical result and prevents puddles from forming on your cover.
When choosing a tarpaulin, the thickness made all the difference. The quality of the sail is determined by the density of the material in relation to the size of the boat. The smaller the boat the lower the thickness required.
This thickness is measured in Denier (D). The 200D is only suitable for dinghies. Choose the 600D for larger boats that need to be protected from the elements for a longer period of time.
Choose a well-fitting tarpaulin. For a standard ship, a universal sail will often suffice. Choose a custom solution if your ship is (slightly) different from the standard.
A tarpaulin has several benefits for your boat:
- Your boat will be better protected from the weather.
- It extends the life of your boat.
- Transporting your boat is safer with a tarpaulin
