Reply To: Spray Hood

Shane, welcome. You may get two replies from me – I did one yesterday but it seems not to have been posted. The gist is that all companies make an offering for a price according to the materials used and their mark up. Make some calls. However, make sure you look at a few designs on existing boats before you go with one. Aerodynamics important, as are water shedding angles – should have NO horizontal areas. Also, think about how it will attach to make a total cockpit cover – you'll want this at some point. Consider doing DIY – make paper templates from an existing boat you like? I'd recommend giving a GRP composite structure serious consideration too – over fabric. Whatever you do, a srayhood is essential in the UK on an HT.
