Trad-Back
A traditional narrowboat has a small, rear deck with only space for the skipper to stand and no guard rail behind. Our bespoke helm hood/pod or back hood can provide a valuable and versatile extension and all-weather cruising.
Guide to cover types
Semi-Trad
A semi-traditional narrowboat is one with a canvas cover over a steel or aluminium frame, also often used to protect the rear deck of a cruiser. We have semi-traditional stern hoods (regular or small hoods) and semi-traditional tonneaus.
For a more traditional look, our bespoke cratch covers and optional handcrafted A-frames will provide you with additional space and protection from the elements.
A custom cratch hood offers you additional space on a boat and allows you to open the front doors in bad weather without rain and wind getting into the boat.
The helm pod/hood covering provides you with shelter over the hatch area on a traditional back narrowboat, allowing you to use the boat in a wider variety of weather conditions.
A tailor-made back hood provides additional space on your boat and allows you to open the hatch in bad weather without rain and wind getting into the boat.
A cruiser stern tonneau can protect the rear deck from water ingress to the engine bay and other areas, whilst protect instrumentation and upholstery from sun damage. Thus, increasing the value of your boat.
