Covers for Unusual and Vintage Boats in Peterborough
The River Nene and Middle Level Navigations near Peterborough are home to a number of older and individually built boats for which standard off-the-shelf covers simply don't exist. Our postal copy service is particularly well suited to these boats: we work from your existing cover as a cutting pattern, so the profile of a 1970s river cruiser or a one-off wooden launch is replicated just as accurately as a modern production boat.
We've made cockpit covers for vintage river cruisers, wooden launches, and custom-built narrowboats from across East Anglia. As long as your existing cover is broadly intact — even if worn or patched — we can use it as a template. If the original cover is too damaged to use, we can also work from a paper tracing or a careful measurement sheet. Contact Ryan to discuss your specific boat before posting.
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 Peterborough boats mooring year-round on the River Nene, 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.
