Wondered if anyone has dealt with them. I have emailed them to see if the tramp cover is what I am looking for. Hoping they send me a pic.

That's the dealer in Memphis right?

Apparently my dad knew him from "way back when". I may have him do some sail repairs for me at the end of the season. Let me know how things go.

Yes, they are nice people. I used to live there and they helped me with getting info on the abandon Hobie 16 I found to locate the owner. Then they helped me sell it a few years later for more than twice what I had into it.

I have an H-16 tramp cover made by Rooke Sails that I bought from them about 5 years ago, and it was already used then (gave me a good discount). It's been in the sun practically this whole time. The "Rooke Sails" emblem on it is a little ragged, but the fabric (Sunbrella) and snaps are still great. Fits nice and snug, but not so tight that it's difficult to put on.

They had a really cool, talented lady that made their covers at that time. Chris and Charlotte are great, too!

I just bought my 18 from Rooke on wednesday, Chris and Charlotte are the nicest people you could ever meet. Their products they make/repair are really top notch! I will go by their shop tomorrow and tell them they should check their e-mail every once and awhile. :roll:

How much does a tramp cover go for? My cat sits on the dock all summer.. I put a new tramp on it last year and I don't want it to get ruined..
