Plan Your Narrowboat Covers Enquiry for Skipton
Replacement narrowboat covers for Skipton boat owners are supplied by post from our Carterton, Oxfordshire workshop. Send fitted photographs before ordering so Ryan can assess the actual cover, supports and fastening layout.
Identify the cover area first: a bow cratch cover, a raised stern pram hood and a flat deck cover protect different parts of a narrowboat. Send photographs of the actual area, retained supports and fixing layout rather than choosing from the boat length alone.
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
The service operates by post from our Carterton, Oxfordshire workshop. We supply replacement cover fabric for suitable retained supports and fittings. New supporting frames, on-site measuring, fitting and framework installation are not included.
We aim to dispatch within 6 working days of receiving your old cover or confirmed measurements; delivery time is additional.
Photos for Your Narrowboat Covers Assessment
- Show the existing cover fitted over the bow, stern or deck area it protects, with the retained supports visible.

- For a stern hood, show its current folded and open positions where practical; for a bow cover, show the cratch board and cabin attachments.
Individual quote required. Agree the replacement cover area, pattern, material, windows, openings and fittings with Ryan. No VAT is added. Confirm postage and sample-return arrangements before sending anything; a location or boat length does not establish a fixed price.

Post the Agreed Sample

Confirm the Replacement Details
A suitable old cover provides a pattern for the replacement fabric. Confirm panels, material, colour, windows, openings and fastenings; stretched or damaged cloth may need additional details rather than a direct copy.
