Bit Odd.

Not sure about this.
I have one guy you asked me about a dinghy cover you can leave on in the water, well straight away I thought of those 'chaps' type covers that protect the tubes, but no. He said.

"I was thinking of something the other way up. The dinghy normally lives UPSIDE DOWN on the wheel-house roof, so it's the BOTTOM of the tubes etc which need protecting from the sun, maybe a cover which can live on the dinghy semi-permanently, even when it's in the water".

He said he saw an article in one of the boaty mags about something similar !

Any ideas ?

Ell it would be prety straight forward  to make a cover o er the tubes covering g the bottom. Flat
if gthey wanted to use ut while floating also now it needs to be tented not to puddle and you have to deal with the motor cover it or not cover it  to do bolth would be a compromise. I'd rather have a snug footing cover upsidedown. So if it was tended a d acomodated cor the motor floating It would t fit well on the roof 
I'd ay it's up to them nice fit on the roof or a compromise

Never seen nor heard of a cover that fits under the bottom while afloat.  Odd for sure...

June

Ok, just found this.  Not the same thing though...  Look at the last pic.

Yes that's what I was thinking of June.

Ds like they would like to keep the inside of the dinghy dry a
while floating also. I can see cover everything  while stored where it will be most of the time.
