This is one event you won't want to miss!

Ensure a safer boat with carpeting made for tough marine environments- choose UV stabilized, mold and mildew resistant. We can copy your existing pieces or design new ones to make your interiors warm and cozy before the winter when the floors can get slippery when wet. Custom fit AquaLoc backing provides premium performance, skid and slip resistance. If you need to replace your snap in carpet or any other carpet projects, we can help.

• We can copy and replace any mats.

• If you don't have any, we can start fresh. We can create a template at the boat or provide us with measurements of the areas you want covered.
• • Inquire for a quote!
• Bring your carpets in before the end of the year for the best prices of the season! We also offer comfort helm mats and custom embroidered boarding mats that have non-skid rubber backing and are fade and stain resistant. Design your own!

If your boat will mostly be tied to the dock this winter, now is the time to stow the sails and make sure your winter covers are on and secure. If leaving your sails on the boat, make sure they have proper Sunbrella covers to keep them dry and protected. Storing your sails in a dry place for the winter is more ideal- it will extend their life, and can prevent storm damage.

This is also the perfect time to have your annual full inspections and to get anything repaired that you put off while you were busy sailing.

On all sails, we will replace telltales (complimentary) and we will provide you with a complete estimate for any needs. The most common problems that we fix are: stitching, worn out corner webbing, small holes at batten pockets, worn down spreader patches and broken slides. Please check your sails for these common issues.

If you bought any new canvas over the last few years, we want to know how it is holding up. We always encourage any feedback to make our products better and to maintain outstanding durability from wear and tear. Let us know if you have any thoughts or comments. Thanks!
