VA-Boat Covers

The customer is responsible for the accuracy of the boat information provided. We manufacture the cover based on the boat’s model year or hull number. Sometimes there may be different cover versions for the same boat depending on the date of manufacture.

Verify your boat's model year from the WIN number before ordering

View guide

The WIN code (Watercraft Identification Number) reveals when, where and by whom a boat was built. The system has been in use since 1998 as part of the EU Recreational Craft Directive.

Location on the boat

The WIN code is located on the transom on the right side, just below the rubbing strake. On boats without a transom, it is on the right side of the stern.

Tip

Always record the WIN number when buying a boat. It helps identify the vessel in case of theft and verify the manufacturing year when purchasing a used boat.

Arches / Frame tubes or Adjustable support

Covers rarely use the same kind of arches as canopies. In most cases the cover is fitted directly over the boat without arches, resting on frame tubes or an adjustable support.

If you want a support structure under the cover — e.g. to prevent water pooling — we can manufacture a set of frame tubes or an adjustable support together with the cover. Order new arches/tubes only if the existing ones no longer fit or are missing.

Choose fabric type

You can choose either the more affordable harbour cover fabric or the higher-quality Sunbrella Plus canopy fabric (same fabric used in boat canopies).
