Boating Article Of The Month4 Tips To Buying The Perfect Boat Cover For Your Boat
By Abhishek Agarwal
To take good care of your power boats you would have to consider buying a boat cover. This is the protective shield that will ensure that your boat is safeguarded from many different problems. Though you may not realize the worth of having a cover for your boat initially, you will definitely realize what it can do for the well being of your boat finally. This simple accessory will bring down the cost of the wear and tear of your boat enormously. Taking into consideration the cost of repairs that could be a factor of having no protection for your boat, it is a wise decision to get a suitable boat cover.
Covers can provide several indispensable benefits for your boat
1. The boat remains clean and protected from dirt and rubbish
2. Protects from water and dampness
3. Prevents mildew and fungus
4. Protects the boat from the elements
5. Keep creatures out when boat is stationery
6. Reduces the threat of theft
With all these uses for a boat cover you will be convinced that you do need to procure one as soon as possible instead of leaving your boat open to any kind of damage.
1. Quality Standard of Boat Covers :
A good quality boat cover would be the first category on your list of choices. The durability of the fabric of the boat cover and the protective qualities that it can provide your boat with, are another essential factor.
2. The right size :
You would have to know what the size of your boat is. The cover that you buy should not be too loose or too tight. One that is too loose would not be able to seal the boat off securely and one that is too tight would be problematic to get on to your boat. The best option would be to get a custom built cover so that there is no error in the size that is required.
3. Sun Protection :
The fabric should be resistant to and one that gives protection from the ultra violet rays of the sun. If the cover fades due to the sunlight it will start looking old and shabby soon. The cover should also be mildew and water resistant. If the cover is of poor quality it will not have all these protective features and the whole purpose of putting a cover on the boat will be lost.
4. The ideal weight :
A lightweight boat cover will make it easier for you to handle it by yourself, instead of struggling with something that is heavy and unmanageable. The tie down straps of the cover should be tough and not snap. Ensure that your boat cover comes with a warranty so that if it tears you can always get a refund on it.
The manufacturer of the boat will be able to assist you as to what sort of cover would be an appropriate cover for your boat. Though most boat covers are an expensive feature they are worth the money you spend on, as this will finally give good protection for your boat.

Starlight 35 yacht- The designer of the Starlight 35 Mk2 , Stephen Jones, has achieved an enviable reputation for his exceptional vision in hull form which has produced many of the most successful racing yachts in the UK in recent years. In the Starlight 35 Mk2, Stephen has provided a fast hull and easily manageable sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. She was chosen by the judges in the Yachting World Rally as the best yacht in her size range. The Starlight 35 Mk2 enjoys exceptional qualities of thermal and acoustic insulation achieved by a building process which incorporates an inner and outer moulding, enclosing a foam core. This provides a hull which is quieter, warmer and has a noticeable lack of condensation compared with conventionally constructed yachts. The ambience achieved in the cabins from this construction method is therefore exceptional.

A schooner can have two or more masts, the aftermost mast taller or equal to the height of the forward mast(s), distinguishing this design from a ketch or a yawl. Top sail schooners are rigged to carry a square sail near the top of their foremast, but generally modern schooners are gaff or marconi rigged.

Sailing yachts can range in overall length (Length Over All�LOA, in yachting parlance) from about 20 feet (6 m) to well over 100 feet (30 m), where the distinction between a yacht and a ship becomes blurred. However, most privately owned yachts fall in the range of about 25�45 feet (7�14 m); the cost of building and keeping a yacht rises quickly as length increases. In the U.S., sailors tend to refer to smaller yachts as sailboats, while referring to the general sport of sailing as yachting. Within the limited context of sailboat racing, a yacht is any sailing vessel taking part in a race, regardless of size.
