Please describe the project specifications

Road travelling /storage cover with separate motor covers for KOMA510 boat named Great White


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

Having just purchased this boat the customer required a storage /travelling cover with motor covers as when not in use the boat was to be stored outside in the weather.
He wished to have good protection and ease of use .


What is unique or complex about the project?

The road/storage cover was cut and shaped to fit .As the boat was quite broad we used 2m wide fabric to reduce joins .The cover was reinforced where required to protect rub points .
We secured it to the boat by way of a draw cord in a PVC pocket and shock cord ties as along the sides there was minimal lip to secure the draw cord under.

Next were the Motor covers which were cut and shaped to fit the engine profiles with Zips to close once fitted. We added High Viz panels to the Motor Covers to increase visibility, This particular Material has night time reflective properties.


What were the results of the project?

The result was a very satisfied customer who appreciated the ease of fitting the covers and the protection these afforded his prize Boat,
