Lightweight cover for the summer
Outstanding Achievement Award | Seacanvas | Egg Harbor Township, N.J.
This project won a 2013 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the travel covers category. It involved creating a full summer cover to keep UV damage from varnished wood.
Our client purchased his dream boat, a 20-foot St James custom flats design. Teak decking, thick varnished trim and console woodwork needed to be protected.
The challenge was keeping the cover low profile so it could be used for short distance road travel. We made the cover quick to install and remove so our client actually uses our design.
The result is a simple-to-install, lightweight cover—and a happy customer.
