1) Within our catchment area we visit and discuss the individual requirements and specifications of each customer. We offer a written no obligation quotation to either recover your existing frames to the same design or to include slight modifications. We also offer the option of a complete redesign including new bars. Advice is available as to the preference of materials and their best applications. We have a bar shaping department using only 316, 16 gauge marine grade highly polished stainless steel tubing in either 3/4 inch or 1inch. The bars are digitally rolled to ensure no kinks and to ensure they are 100 per cent symmetrical to give a professional appearance. Whether we are copying or completely redesigning the sprayhood Jeckells cover makers will make new templates, manufacture and then fit each cover ensuring our highest standards are reached.
2) If your boat in not in our catchment area we would then use our extensive pattern library of sprayhoods and bars which we have stored on digital files. The covers are then cut, stitched and checked by one of the Jeckells family prior to being despatched. We enclose very clear and precise fitting instructions, but are readily available to help via the telephone or email if required. Please ask for more detailed advice if required.
The Jeckells standard Sprayhood has two windows which are held onto the bars with either press stud or velcro gaitors with webbing’s and buckles on the wings ensuring a taught fit. Acrylic canvas is mainly used but grained PVC can also be applied. Grab rails are welded on for strength and hide covering can be added for additional comfort and appearance. A pvc banding can be sewn onto the rear, forward exterior bars and chaffing points with additional extras such as mooring splits, contrasting binding and sheet cuts to improve cover use.
An extension cover is designed to enclose the cockpit area creating another living space on the boat, by either having removable zip out panels and or roll up tabs creating a bimini principle. As standard the cover is zipped to the sprayhood with a flap. Interior or exterior night flaps can be added for security and protection from UV rays.
The drop cover can be used in conjunction with extension covers or on its own with windows and zips to enclose the door access.
The Tonneau is especially useful when leaving the yacht for a period so it can be zipped to the hood making it easier to keep the cockpit area clean and dry.
