Tramp cover

I know I have seen a tramp cover for the 16. Anyone?

I have one, but it's 160 km from here at the lake, at the end of the week I will be there and can make a picture.

The good thing is that I can put boom and sails (rolled, with battens) under the cover.

I've seen them on Ebay, but none on there now.

Hobie makes a cover for the whole boat. If you really want a tramp only cover, Salty Dog Marine makes one that I've lusted after.

I didn't see if on their website but I have emailed them.

Thanks.

Check out ebay and search the user "slosailandcanvas". Check out his ebay store or email him. I didnt see any tramp covers when i found the store so I e-mailed him asked if his store had any. I ended up getting one for about $120 including shipping. Cover is hevy duty, water proof, and designed very well.

how about buying a canvas from one of the billboard companies in your area. look under www.catsailor.com forums general discussions for a thread on cover ideas. I got a 10' x 40' high UV resistive canvas for $10 a few grommets and you have a complete boat cover.

good luck

I just bought a heavy-duty plastic tarp at Lowes which is brown on one side and a silver reflective color on the other--which I use facing up. It is 12x16 and works perfectly with a few bungies to secure it. It covers the tramp and about 2/3 of the hulls. (The front 1/3 of the hulls stick out.)

I will list some topgun trailerable 16 tranmp covers on ebay aug 1st.
Looks like I have fabric for a few more.

Will look for it.

Recently while vacationing in Florida I noticed another group of campers had discarded one of those square sun canopies that has telescoping legs. My friends and I, being the scavengers we are, rescued it from the dumpster and continued using it for the remainder of the trip. It worked well as a free sun shelter but was in too poor of shape to take home.

We began to throw it away ourselves when a little light bulb went off in my head. I removed the canvas and found that it fits the tramp frame perfectly. The fabric is still waterproof and because it is canvas and not plastic it is breathable. Now with a grommet kit from an arts and crafts store it should be the perfect cover.

Of course I cannot trailer with it but it will keep the sun off of my new tramp and with an xtra gromment in the center I can use the halyard to raise the center. Anyway, if you can find one of these they work great.
I see the covers on ebay regularly, that’s where I got the idea for using this sun canopy canvas. I also debated using Sunbrella material from the boat store but from what I understand it is expensive.
Good luck

It won't take nearly as much duct tape to make into a tramp cover...

I've found some pictures of the cat with the tramp cover on.
If someone could tell me how to post pictures here I could show them, or I will send the pictures to you by email.

I use the cover listed in the Hobie Catalog on my boat and really like it. It goes on and off easily, covers the whole boat and so far is pretty durable and reasonable in price. I shopped the Top Gun covers at first then learned that they were thinking about not making them anymore so went with the Hobie cover.
