finally, getting my cooke cover

i’ve wanted one of these for years. now that the vhf, gps, downwind sail, sliding bucket seat, float bags, deck lines and d-rings are done, it’s on to the cooke cover. it’s for my rob roy and was sent out today. hurray, for me. :slight_smile:

congrats…
…I have one my wife & daughter-in-law made for me, and I can really tell the difference in reducing windage. Not as sturdy as a Cooke, as I’m having adhesive problems for the velcro attachments, but it really helps. I have it on a WNN Vagabond.

I only have a little work left to do
on mine. Cliff Jacobson’s book left out a lot of details that I had to fill in when doing the project. Once I got over the trepidation of drilling into my kevlar canoe to install the snaps though the project went smoothly. I used the center section last Fall when tripping.

you have more skills than me
i’m building a boat right now, but can’t do the sewing thing, yet. i’d love to make my own sails someday. that’s a long ways off, though.
