Knocked this one up just after the other one I posted some time back.

A Nicholson 32 if I remember correctly.

I actually ran out of cloth for this one, thought I ordered enough to do both jobs but had to reorder from a different batch so there was a colour difference.  :'( In the shop the difference in colour was something I couldn't ignore so decided to come clean with the customer and inform him. He wasn't too fussed about it and went away a happy chappy with an extra year of free servicing for the error. Fitted the cover; Could hardly see the difference in daylight. :plonker:

Thanks.
Shrinkwrap? Yep, it's been around here for years: http://www.marineshrinkwrapping.com/photo2010.htm
Mostly used for transport and some use it for winterising, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone reuse it.
