I told 'er indoors' I needed a couple of new bits for my boat, but when on web site and with phone calls to Windsport for advice I ended up buying a new cover as they were so helpful and friendly. No problem I thought as the covers were not in stock, this would give me time to pluck up enough courage to tell about the other little extra.... BUT NO that super efficient Windsport got hold of them almost straight away and the bits have all arrived!
Oh well, thanks a lot Windsport for your fantastic service! (I am not related to the 'Windsport family' but still just about related to 'er indoors'!!!!!!)

can't believe you haven't learnt to have boat stuff delivered to work! (works especially well if boat kept at club as you can say things such as "I've had that for ages etc etc" when/if she eventually notices!

(She does it with clothes and shoes!)("that looks new""I've had this for ages" she says)

I'm about to order a new cover so just wondering if you've had yours what's it like? ?45 more than the dinghy store one, is it worth the difference?

I haven't seen other covers, however mine delaminated and after talking with lots of people it seemed a case of 'pay your penny' I believe this one is breathable, but I would stand to be corrected! Some say the breathable bit is not important for fiberglass boats, I prefere my breathable jacket so why not look after my boat! Its not on the boat yet as 'er indoors' took my car to play tennis and the kids took the other so I had to stay at home!

Thanks Kevin for that vote of confidence, I don't think we will get to a point where "you think it" and "we send it" but we are aiming to offer that service where it arrives before you need to use it on your boat. Of course we are delighted to have happy customers and although we are not suggesting we can get it right every time we will always aim to provide a complete service of parts and technical support for Sprint 15 sailors over and above the run of the mill bits. We have worked towards the covers being good quality and whilst we cannot claim the material is breathable the way it is constructed encourages air to circulate when sitting in the dinghy park.
Thanks
Brian
