PTFE
Teflon®
thread coated
with Teflon®, for outstanding chemical and UV resistance
which
will not be damaged by exposure to sunlight, weather,
or water. Designed to last as long as the fabric.
|
Chemically
Stripped polyester thread which deteriorates in UV and
needs to be restitched every 2 to 3 years. |
|
Uncoated, or laminated
fabric that delaminates. |
Flat-Felled
seams double stitched through
4 layers.
Double needle lock stitched flat-felled seams leave
no edges to fray and seal water out better than other
types of seams. |
Single
or chain stitched through 2 layers.
Overlapped cloth seams sewn with a zigzag stitch used
by other cover makers allow driving rain to run right
through. |
|
Turned-up hems stitched
through 2 layers. |
|
Metal
zippers which rust and become difficult to operate over
time. |
Stand-up
flaps that snap around stays
and zippers
The flaps hide and protect chain plates and zippers
from water seepage and damaging UV and the snaps
hold much better than velcro. |
Gaping
opening or Velcro that quits "sticking" after
about one year's exposure to grass, debris, and UV. |
5/16” elastic
shock cord in the hem AND draw cord tie downs to secure
the cover on the boat. |
Only
Tie downs or cotton draw cord to hold the cover on. |

points are soft webbing
loops. |
Tie-down
points are grommets that scratch the boat. |
Around
the mast we sew a stand-up mast collar with draw cord
closure at the top. |
A
split opening that allows rainwater to stream down the
mast. |
