On board our multihulls, textile covers have become essential for greater comfort by protecting us from harsh sun, rain, and sea spray. But our biminis, sprayhoods, and other sunshades are obviously exposed to UV rays, salt, and humidity.
Technical fabrics can also be weakened by repeated handling. Over time, even the highest quality fabric wears out; as for flexible glazing, it can become opaque and reduce visibility from the cockpit and/or helm station.
However, when the arches and stainless steel structures are in good condition, it is not always necessary to replace all the equipment. In many cases, replacing the canvas restores the aesthetic appeal and performance of the textile covers.
NVequipment offers replacement covers designed using the original patterns preserved in the company's technical database. These patterns allow for the reproduction of covers adapted to existing structures, as well as components conforming to the specifications of the manufacturers of many multihulls still sailing today.
Replacing the fabrics is also an opportunity to modernize the aesthetics of the cockpit, with new colors or fabrics that match the cushions or exterior trim.
From March 16th to April 18th, NVequipment is offering a 10% discount in France on the replacement of original NV covers through its network of resellers.
