Topic : Items needed - Any Top Covers?

I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I'm looking for 'watertight' covers for a 9b and a Phantom Kipper - a boom up cover for the 'Kipper would be ideal but a flat top would be fine for the 9b. Anything considered - Thanks!

A GP 14 cover would probably fit the IXB.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for those as well - it might open the scope up a little - are the masts in a similar position relative to the stem / stern? I've not got one nearby to measure.

It's certainly going to be close.

My IX has an old 505 cover which is a good cover all!!  Plenty of room round the edges and it has kept the water out all summer perfectly

Thanks, the more close fits I can get the better chance of finding one. I guess the extra beam width of a IXB would still be within the 'overlap' of the 505. P&B do the trailing covers for £105 and flat ones for £148 which is a significant portion of the boat value!
Thanks again.

Point North will sell you the material (mail order) for considerably less if you want to craft your own cover. Also lots of other useful stuff for clothing, covers, sail repairs etc.
