Boat Covers - Your Shield Against Wear And Tear!

By Abhishek Agarwal

As a boat owner, there are many elements to the care and upkeep of your precious sailing vessel you need to consider and a boat cover is one of the important aspects that help protect and shield your boat from the elements of nature, thus investing in a quality grade of the same will ensure the life of your boat for a longer time.

Harsh weather conditions and uncertain or temperate climates can mean the end of your boat's durability and no boat owner would willfully want that for their sailing vessel, especially those owning expensive models.

Thus, buying a good quality boat cover is of prime importance for boat owners looking to raise the life of their boat and minimizing aging its good looks effectively. A good boat cover also helps keep a boat looking new and free from damaging dirt marks made by time and use; so if in the market for purchasing boat covers, do look for quality, design and customized options that meet your boats needs as well as your budget.

There are many types of boat covers available today, ranging from the simple slipcover variety that slide over the top of a boat, covering the essential boat parts (engine mainly) inside so the mechanical parts are rust-proofed for a longer time and vinyl seats stay crack-resistant even in strong sunlight to the more fancy kinds.

This category includes custom made boat covers that are made to order according to the measurements given by the boat owner to ensure a snug fit with no gaps or unsightly sagging spots, thus keep rain, dust and air out of the vital spots of the boat.

Apart from these above categories of boat covers, one can also get to buy temporary boat garages that provide basic stowage facilities, are easy and fast to assemble and can be quickly disassembled too, as when protection is needed (or not needed) for the boat.

The advantage to using this type of flexible boat cover storage facility is that these temp shelters provide longer duration coverage against sudden showers, sleet, snow and excessive sunlight especially during the colder months when the boat may not run daily into the lake. It also does double duty - as garage space as well as adequate cover for the boat.

Often, for a tidy sum, you can make or get assembled the pre-drilled and custom-cut to your given specifications portable boat buildings that serve as boat covers that are both classy and offer secure protection for your boat, while being easy to store too.

Thus, we find the use of boat covers essential for all boat owners that love their boats and want to minimize damages of any kind - to engine, interiors, looks and longevity aspects of their boat as well as being the smart choice for those who are looking for long-term protection cover for their boat.

A jetboat is a boat propelled by a jet of water ejected from the back of the craft. Unlike a powerboat or motorboat that uses a propeller in the water below or behind the boat, a jetboat draws the water from under the boat into a pump-jet inside the boat, then expels it through a nozzle at the stern.

Most monohulls larger than a dinghy require ballast, depending on the design ballast will be 20 to 50 percent of the displacement. The ballast is often integrated into their keels as large masses of lead or cast iron. This secures the ballast and gets it as low as possible to improve it's effectivness. External keels are cast in the shape of the keel. A monohull's keel is made effective by a combination of weight, depth and length.

Although no one knows when the first sailboat was built, archeologists have found remains of primitive canoe-like vessels dating back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Since then, boat design has developed steadily to enhance speed, maneuverability and cargo load, reflecting unique aesthetic and technological innovations.
