Default Cover for Heritage Redfish 14

Any suggestions for a good that would stay on while the yak is stored/transported on a car top?



Thanks,

My wife makes "Kayak Condoms." They are a simple bag with a draw string on one end and made out of heavy rip-stop Nylon. At present, she only makes them in blue, about the color of the bar at the top of the page. The draw string is 550# Parachute cord.

$75 ea. We'll need some measurements becayse each bag is made for a specific yak.

Postage to P'cola is about 6-8$.

Isn't your Kayak over 10' long??? It says that they are made for kayak's around 10'..... If you didn't see that on the web site.

If you read the ad closely, you will find that it is made for 14' boats/kayaks.

Edit: After reading the entire ad and seeing that the covers on closeout, I ordered one for my Redfish 14! I already use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the entire hull but I want to cover the kayak for winter as it has to be outside through no fault of mine. There just isn't any shelter here that I can put it into for the winter. So it cost me around $52 with tax and shipping for a 14' cover. That seems reasonable to me in light of the unamimous positive feedback from other purchasers of the covers.

I got my kayak cover yesterday and it is everything I expected and more. It is much heavier canvas that I expected Wally World to carry andit is much larger than I needed for a 14' kayak. A 14' canoe would fit in quite easily with probably no stretching or grunting and the zipper is a heavy duty KYK canvas type zipper. There are carrying straps on each end and it is fully weather/water repellant.

A bargain for the price in my opinion although it is more suited to the shape of a canoe than a kayak. But it still will provide ample protection if you have to leave your kayak out in the weather as I do.
