Mooring Cover vs. Trailing‑Mooring Cover:
What’s the Real Difference?

Both the MOORING and TRAILING‑MOORING (T‑M) styles cover the entire deck — bow to stern, around the mast, and around the stays. But each style shines in different situations.

Choose the MOORING Cover if…

You keep your boat at the lake with the mast up. The over‑the‑boom design gives the cover a natural peak, helping it shed rain far better than the rope bridle used on T‑M covers. It’s also the easiest cover to put on — ideal for frequent use.

Choose the TRAILING‑MOORING Cover if…

You trailer your boat, store it at home, or travel to regattas. The T‑M cover is low‑profile, fully deck‑covering, and safe for highway speeds.

It fits with the mast up — but not over the boom. When using it with the mast up:

• Remove the boom and lay it in the cockpit.
• Clip your halyard to the sewn‑in rope bridle.
• Tension upward to create a slope that sheds rain.
