If you need spinnaker socks, boat covers, or integrated blade bags at Fort
Desoto let me know. You can save the shipping costs.
Also a note on boat covers:
Before going to Bank's boat cover division to have covers made, I took about
25 digital pictures of boats with covers on the docks at
Shilshole--including mine with my design. The reason is that about 90% of the
covers at
Shilshole were failures--collapsed into the boats and filled with water and
duck
crap. These covers were nearly all made by "professional" boat cover
manufacturers. If you are about to have a custom cover made, do have a look
at Banks
covers at Fort Desoto. The design has been proven over 4 years. Sunbrella is
a proven material and I continue to see material "that is just as good"
being peddled to boat owners by cover makers who bought a "look alike" for
half
the price. Most of these materials begin to show signs of failure after just
one season. Insist on Sunbrella unless you can see a cover with at least 4
seasons in the weather that has held up. Be suspicious of other designs that
"are just as good but cheaper" unless it is an idea that you (not the cover
maker) came up with. You've got a lot of time and money invested in your
Swift. Make sure that you've got a cover that will protect it when you have
to
leave it for a couple of weeks unattended.
Best regards,
Bram
