Cover Styles for Grand Union Canal Boats
Narrowboats and wide-beams on the Grand Union Canal near Braunston typically use a combination of tonneau covers, cratch covers, and stern covers — sometimes all three on a single boat. We can make any or all of these from the same order, using your existing canvases as templates throughout. Each cover is cut and sewn separately, so the fit on each section of the boat is independent of the others.
If you cruise the Oxford Canal as well as the Grand Union Canal, you may encounter different weather and exposure conditions. Our fabric options — marine PVC and acrylic canvas — both perform across the full range of inland waterway conditions, so Braunston customers don't need to choose a different cover for different stretches. Call 07939 608899 or use the contact form.
Marine Fabrics & Materials
Cockpit covers need to withstand pooled water and UV exposure while your boat is moored. We use UV-resistant marine PVC or breathable acrylic canvas, with double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread throughout. Fixings are stainless steel press studs or heavy-duty bungee cord loops, chosen to suit your boat's existing cockpit hardware. We can also fit bolt-rope edges for covers that slot into a rubbing strake channel.
For Braunston boats mooring year-round on the Grand Union 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.
