Boat Covers

From time to time and usually at the end of the rowing season, we have customers who experience unexplained surface deterioration problems in the form of small pimples/bubbles on the hull surface, often quite random and localised. In almost all cases, this has been caused by boats being left or stored for a number of days or weeks in wet boat covers or plastic bags. . .Read More.
