New cover for BRE Ex. Without

Amy E doesn't have rubbing strakes and Swallow Liners have developed a new cockpit cover for that setup and it as excellent fit.

I have used my mizzen mast sheets to hold the cover in place.

Do you think the water will collect on the cover and as such significant "pooling" will be inevitable.

Only time will tell Peter. The material is pretty heavyweight and it is difficult to get even fingers under the cover's edge.

The two Devon Yawls in the background have similarly cut covers.
