Technical Specifications

Designed for Laser and ILCA Sailing Dinghies

Laser and ILCA dinghies are popular single-handed sailing boats used for recreational sailing, club racing and competitive regattas throughout New Zealand.

The Oceansouth Laser ILCA Dinghy Cover is designed for compatible Laser-style dinghies, providing a more tailored fit than a generic boat cover.

A properly fitted dinghy cover helps protect exposed surfaces while the boat is not in use.

It is particularly useful for sailors who regularly store their boats outdoors at yacht clubs, boat parks or home.

Heavy-Duty 310g/m² ATLAS Marine Fabric

The cover is manufactured from 310g/m² ATLAS marine-grade fabric.

This durable material is designed for use in outdoor marine environments, offering a combination of:

• Strength and durability

• Water resistance

• Breathability

• UV protection

• Resistance to mould and mildew

• Ease of cleaning

The material is suitable for sailors who want a practical cover for regular boat storage and handling.

Its breathable construction can help reduce moisture accumulation compared with an entirely non-breathable covering, although ventilation and correct storage remain important.

UV Protection for New Zealand Conditions

New Zealand's strong sunlight can cause deterioration of exposed marine equipment over time.

The Oceansouth Laser ILCA Cover is designed to provide UV protection for covered areas of the dinghy.

This can help reduce direct sunlight exposure to the hull, deck fittings and other components beneath the cover.

For dinghies stored outdoors between sailing sessions, a quality marine cover is a useful part of routine boat care.

Water-Resistant Protection

The Oceansouth Laser cover features water-resistant marine fabric designed to help protect the dinghy from rain and spray.

This is particularly useful when storing a boat outdoors or transporting it in changing weather conditions.

The cover is water-resistant rather than guaranteed completely waterproof. Water may still enter around openings, seams or fastening points, especially in severe weather or where water is allowed to pool.

For best results, fit the cover correctly and avoid allowing standing water to accumulate.

Reinforced Double-Lapped Seams

The cover features reinforced double-lapped seams designed to improve strength and durability.

Seams are important stress points on boat covers, particularly where fabric is pulled tight or exposed to movement during handling.

The reinforced construction helps the cover withstand normal marine use when correctly fitted and maintained.
