Year-Round Cover for Penrith Boats
The River Eamont near Penrith is used year-round by boat owners who moor between the active cruising season and leave their boats on river moorings through the quieter months. A cover that was adequate for summer use often fails during Cumbria's wet and cold months — seams split, windows cloud and crack, and zips corrode when a cover is left under load for extended periods.
Our narrowboat covers are built specifically for the conditions your boat will face on the River Eamont. We use double-sewn seams with anti-wick thread, UV-stable fabrics that won't bleach or become brittle over successive seasons, and heavy-duty YKK marine zips that resist corrosion. If your cruising takes you between the River Eamont and River Petteril, your cover is also tested against a wider range of conditions — an argument for choosing the heavier PVC option, which handles both protected and exposed stretches without compromise.
Marine Fabrics & Materials
Narrowboat covers need to withstand constant wind, rain, and UV exposure on the canal. We use 400 g/m² marine PVC for maximum waterproofing, or Sunbrella acrylic for superior breathability — ideal for narrowboats that are lived on year-round. All seams are double-sewn with anti-wick thread, and all zips are heavy-duty YKK marine grade. Fixings are stainless steel press studs or bungee cord loops to suit your existing fittings.
For Penrith boats mooring year-round on the River Eamont, 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.
