Victoria 34 - winter cover?

Hi all.
In order to protect the teak decks/cockpit on 'Anitra', I need to consider getting a professionally made winter cover.
I am guessing that a 'mast up' cover would be best as this would allow the halyards to be used to hold the cover up and off the coach roof / cockpit areas.
Just wondering if anyone could recommend a supplier who has perhaps made such a cover for one of the members V34's?
As I live in N.Ireland, I may end up opting for one of the few companies who make yacht covers.
I won't be cheap I know!!

Thanks.

Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

Jonny (Boat Covers Ireland) in Killyleagh made a lot of stuff for my Frances 34 but not an overall cover.
I can thoroughly recommend him.

Thanks Gerry.

Unfortunately, Jonny isn't able to cover the north of N.Ireland as their work is mainly in Co. Down or Co. Fermanagh.

I'll have a go at rigging a winter cover up next year, but I need to have the spray hood replaced as it is nearing end of life. There are a few other 'local' options available, but if they fail, I'll take a template and have the original maker (Patrick/Ben Sellman - Falmouth) make the new spray hood remotely.

Many thanks.

Charlie.
