Tube cover for your sloop

To enjoy your sloop to the max in our Dutch climate, a spray hood is indispensable. A spray hood protects the occupants from rain, wind and bright sunshine. A spray hood provides all-round visibility, without detracting from the line of your boat. 

In addition, a spray hood gives a very nice look to your sloop. There is a lot of choice in materials and colors. You also have a lot of options regarding windows, zippers and attachments.

Our sail-making facility is located in Friesland, the province where water sports are central. We have thousands of tube caps Made for sloops, sailboats, motorboats and all kinds of boats around them. No wish is too crazy for us!

Does your sloop need a new spray hood? Then you have come to the right place at De Vries Marine. Based on the old spray hood, your experiences during sailing and your wishes, we determine together the dimensions and options for your new spray hood.

The color of the spray hood should match nicely with the whole look of the sloop. We have many examples and previous projects that we can show you.

The life of a spray hood is determined by the quality of the materials, the intensity of use and the care taken of the spray hood. Is the boat stored inside during the winter, or does it stay outside? Is the spray hood cleaned regularly? Are the materials of sufficient quality? All these variables together determine how long a spray hood lasts. Do you want to know more about this? Or are you curious about the average lifespan of our spray tunnels? Please contact us, we like to share our experiences.

In order to enjoy your spray hood for longer, it is important to maintain it once in a while. This extends its life, and the spray hood remains clean and beautiful. Always remove any bird droppings as soon as possible with a soft cloth and some water. Each material has specific maintenance instructions. We are happy to share these with you. 

Prevent aggressive or incorrect cleaning agents from damaging the waterproofing or protective coating, or making the windows opaque or turning blue. It may seem clean again, but it will wear out more quickly and become dirty.

In addition to a spray hood, you can add even more protection from the weather. A bimini, also called awning, is very suitable for this purpose. Of course, we also make them to measure for any kind of sloop.
