Boating on the Bude Canal near Bude
Covers on boats moored along the Bude Canal near Bude face a specific set of challenges. Canal corridors funnel wind along their length, which means even a firmly fitted cover can work loose at the eyelets or press studs over a winter season. We double-sew every seam and use heavy-duty stainless steel fixings precisely because canal-moored covers take constant, low-level stress rather than the occasional storm.
Many Bude boaters use both the Bude Canal and Bude Harbour throughout the season, moving between different mooring environments. A cover that performs on a sheltered canal stretch also needs to cope with more exposed river reaches — which is why we use the same heavyweight marine fabrics for every cover regardless of your primary mooring. Contact Ryan for advice on the right fabric for your specific mooring.
Marine Fabrics & Materials
Marine acrylic is the most popular choice for full canopies — breathable, UV-stable, and available in a wide range of colours. For maximum waterproofing, heavy-duty PVC (400 g/m²) is the better option. We use double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread on all canopies to prevent water ingress at stitch lines. Clear panels are cut from marine-grade flexible PVC that resists UV yellowing for years longer than standard clear vinyl.
For Bude boats mooring year-round on the Bude Canal, the choice between PVC and acrylic usually comes down to whether breathability (acrylic) or maximum waterproofing (PVC) is the priority — Ryan is happy to advise based on your specific mooring and how frequently you use the boat.
