We make and fit bespoke cratchcovers in a variety of fabrics. Starting with a basic three-panel cover, zips with storm covers, windows (and external window covers when required) are added according to individual customer needs and budgets. Individual boats and existing cratchboards may rule out certain styles of cover, please contact us for advice if uncertain. We also make cratch boards and are happy to advise customers wishing to make their own ; see "advice for making cratchboards".
Price guide; £320-£420 depending on type of fabric and style.
A recently completed project was this cratchboard and cover fitted to a widebeam liveaboard on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. The fully glazed cratchboard allows an unbroken view forward of the bow; two windows in the acrylic cloth bring more light in and the zipped panels can be rolled up for ease of access.
We will be on our moorings at Pickering's Bridge on the Bridgewater Canal until spring 09 when we intend to repeat our attempt to get to Ireland for a couple of seasons of serious cruising. Having realised this year that woodwork and cruising are not compatible, we will be ceasing to make cratchboards when we leave our mooring so, if you wanted a cratch and board combination, then this will be the last winter to order one.We are currently working on a lead time of 4 -6 weeks.
