Does anyone have a source for protective covers for the stern buoyancy bags?

Bill - I wondered about these as i was contemplating them to protect against the rivets and roves on 111

Thanks John.  I've spoken to P&B.  

Gary - They make a top cover for a standard pillow bag of 36" x 12", either for lacing or for direct attachment to the hull. The laced version is apparently £47.60p a pair. Normally this is for National 12' use, so they suggest a paper pattern if you think the shape of the hull requires something other than standard. See you tomorrow at Wormit.
