Think Before You Shrink
This year, why not try a reusable cover?
Did You Know….?
- Semi-custom covers for most boats under 30’ cost the same as shrink-wrapping for two seasons.
- Reusable covers can last as long as 5-10 years.
- Canvas shops can repair and clean reusable boat covers extending their life even further.
- Installing a reusable cover on a small boat is easy and protects as well as plastic.
- Semi-custom reusable covers are available via online retailers for many boats.
- Recycling shrinkwrap material is costly, time consuming, and difficult.
Ask your marina or local marine retailer for help purchasing, cleaning or repairing your cover. A list of marinas and canvas workers can be found on the Marine Trades Association of Maryland website or in the Guide to Marine Services produced by MTAM each year.
