Mooring Cover (MOR)
The Rhodes 18, originally designed as a junior trainer for the Stamford Yacht Club in Connecticut, is a versatile recreational sailboat. Initially built from wood, it has been constructed from fiberglass with wood trim since 1965.
A full deck over-boom cover is an essential accessory for maintaining your Rhodes 18, offering robust protection against the elements. Key features include:
Heavy-Duty Nylon Zipper: Ensures a snug fit from mast to sidestay, with a protective flap to shield the zipper from UV damage.
Stand-Up Mast Collar: Equipped with a drawcord closure and snap flaps around the stays, providing additional safeguards against water ingress and UV discoloration.
Versatile Design: Accommodates various classes with elastic shock cords or snap attachments, ensuring a secure fit.
Ventilation: A large aft screen and an overhead vent promote airflow, preventing moisture buildup and mold.
Reinforcements: Critical points like the gooseneck, boom end, and cleats are reinforced for enhanced durability, offering peace of mind even when sails are left flaked over the boom during mooring periods.
This comprehensive design ensures exceptional UV protection and extends the longevity of your sailboat's components
