Introduction: Why Your Falcon Weekender Deserves a Bespoke Cover
Welcome, Falcon Weekender owners! Your 19ft vessel with its 7ft 2in beam is a familiar sight gracing the serene waters of the River Trent, Fossdyke Canal, and River Witham. To truly protect your investment from the elements and keep it looking pristine for years to come, a generic, off-the-shelf cover simply won't do. You need a tailor-made solution that fits every curve and contour perfectly. At UK Boat Covers, a family-run business based in Carterton, Oxfordshire, we specialise in crafting bespoke boat covers that offer unparalleled protection. Ryan and the team ensure precision and quality, giving your Falcon Weekender the defence it deserves. Our bespoke covers for the Falcon Weekender start from £979 for PVC and £1,089 for Acrylic, providing exceptional value and peace of mind.
Why Choose a Bespoke Cover for the Falcon Weekender?
The Falcon Weekender, with its distinctive 19ft length and 7ft 2in beam, features a unique hull shape and specific deck layout that demand a bespoke cover. Universal covers are designed for average dimensions, meaning they will inevitably sag, flap in the wind, or fail to adequately protect vital areas like the windscreen or cockpit. This leads to water pooling, mould growth, and accelerated wear on your boat. A bespoke cover from UK Boat Covers is crafted precisely to your boat's contours, ensuring a drum-tight fit that sheds water effectively and prevents abrasive rubbing. Our unique postal copy service allows us to replicate your old cover's exact dimensions, guaranteeing a perfect, custom fit for your Falcon Weekender without you ever needing to bring the boat to us.
See our Falcon Weekender model page for full specifications and cover options.
Cover Types Available for the Falcon Weekender
For your Falcon Weekender, UK Boat Covers offers a range of bespoke cover types tailored to your specific needs on the River Trent, Fossdyke Canal, and River Witham. A canopy cover provides full enclosure, ideal for overnight stays or extended periods at anchor, protecting both the cockpit and cabin area from rain and sun. Tonneau covers are perfect for securing the main cockpit area when the boat is moored or trailered, keeping out debris and water. A dedicated cockpit cover offers a snug fit over the open cockpit, excellent for day-to-day protection. We also craft custom spray hoods for enhanced protection against spray and wind during cruising, and robust winter covers designed to withstand the harshest off-season conditions, ensuring your Falcon Weekender remains pristine year-round.

Best Materials for Falcon Weekender Covers
Choosing the right material for your Falcon Weekender's cover is crucial for its longevity and performance on inland waterways. We offer two primary options: PVC marine fabric and Acrylic canvas. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is exceptionally strong, fully waterproof, and highly resistant to abrasion and mildew, making it an excellent choice for a robust, weather-defying cover on the River Trent. It offers superior waterproofing, though it is less breathable. Acrylic canvas, conversely, is a premium, breathable fabric known for its excellent UV resistance and colour retention, ideal for prolonged sun exposure. While highly water-repellent, it offers better breathability, reducing condensation. For typical inland use, both are superb, but PVC offers ultimate waterproofing for harsh conditions, while Acrylic provides superior long-term UV stability and aesthetic appeal.

Measuring Your Falcon Weekender for a New Cover
Accurate measurement is key to a perfect Falcon Weekender cover, though our postal copy service makes it effortless. If measuring yourself, focus on your boat's 19ft length and 7ft 2in beam. For a tonneau cover, measure the length from the furthest forward point you want coverage to the furthest aft, then measure the maximum beam width. Crucially, consider any raised features like windscreens, grab rails, or pedestals. Measure heights from these points to the gunwale. For a full winter cover, measure overall length, beam, and the height from the waterline to the highest point, then down to where the cover should sit. Our postal copy service eliminates these complex steps entirely; just send your old cover, and we'll create an exact replica in new marine-grade fabric, guaranteeing a flawless fit every time.

Falcon Weekender Cover Prices
Investing in a bespoke Falcon Weekender cover from UK Boat Covers offers exceptional value. Our PVC covers start from £979, while premium Acrylic options begin at £1,089. The final price depends on factors like the specific cover type (tonneau, full enclosure), overall complexity, and chosen material. What truly sets us apart is our unique business model: as a family-run business, we operate without VAT, saving you a substantial 20% compared to competitors who must include it. This means your bespoke, high-quality cover is significantly more affordable. While universal covers might seem cheaper initially, their poor fit leads to premature wear on both the cover and your Falcon Weekender. A UK Boat Covers bespoke solution protects your boat effectively and lasts longer, proving to be the more economical and protective choice in the long run.
How to Fit a Cover on Your Falcon Weekender
Properly fitting your new Falcon Weekender cover ensures maximum protection and longevity. Begin by centring the cover on your 19ft boat, aligning any specific cut-outs or reinforcements with features like your windscreen or grab rails. Ensure the cover is pulled taut and smooth, eliminating any slack that could allow water to pool, especially important on the relatively calm River Trent but still critical for heavy rain. Use all the provided tie-down points, securing them firmly to your boat's existing cleats or custom-fitted attachment points. For optimal ventilation and to prevent condensation and mould, ensure there's a slight air gap, or consider adding support poles to create peaks, preventing puddles. This meticulous approach to fitting will keep your Falcon Weekender dry and protected in all weather conditions.
Caring for Your Falcon Weekender Cover
Maintaining your Falcon Weekender boat cover is essential for extending its lifespan and keeping it in top condition, especially considering the varied conditions on the River Trent. Regularly brush off loose dirt, leaves, and bird droppings to prevent staining and material degradation. For a deeper clean, use warm, soapy water and a soft brush, rinsing thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers, as these can damage the fabric's waterproofing and UV resistance. Ensure the cover is completely dry before folding and storing it, particularly during the off-season, to prevent mildew. Periodically re-treat with a suitable waterproofing agent, especially for PVC covers after extensive cleaning. Proper care ensures your UK Boat Covers bespoke cover continues to protect your Falcon Weekender for many years.
