Acrylic

100% acrylic fiber silicone coated for water repellency. Very resistant to rot, mildew, shrinking, fading, or stiffening. Breathable acrylic marine duck is a long lasting mooring cover material due to its excellent resistance to damaging UV rays of the sun. White acrylic is best for your boat due to its much lower heat retention. However, colored acrylic does last longer due to the dye in the fabric. Ideally suited for well-sloped enclosures as leaks when flat. Low abrasion resistance so not as tough as poly for trailing. Also, we do not recommend acrylic for trailing.

I am interested in getting your Trailing / Mooring Cover.
Poly vs Acrylic? Which material is better for this T‑M cover?

Canvas

Boatshrunk, mildew resistant, breathable pearl grey (pale green) cotton fiber. Today's canvas lasts 1/2 as it used to because the mills are no longer allowed to use the same chemicals that so effectively protected it from mildew.

Canvas Boat Cover Material

100% Polyester Napbac (Bottom Covers)

Specially water repellant material with white flannel-like inside for bottom, rudder, daggerboard, and tiller covers. Flannel inside acts like a polishing cloth and keeps racing surfaces smooth and clean.

Napback Boat Cover Material

Acrylic Coated Poly

Special polyester fabric with a urethane coating which adds to the stability of the weave and makes the cover more water resistant as well as shrink/stretch resistant.

  • Highly water resistant
  • High UV and mildew / mold resistance
  • Excellent tear and abrasion resistance
  • Non-abrasive to gelcoat or other marine finishes
  • Lightweight for easier handling
Acrylic Coated Poly

Polyester Covers with Acrylic Skirts

Adding an acrylic skirt to a poly cover is a great way to get the durability of our polyester while reducing the overall cover weight. These materials complement each other extremely well.
