Laser and ILCA FAQ
Which Laser and ILCA models does this cover fit?
This cover is specifically designed to fit the Laser Standard, Laser Radial and Laser 4.7, as well as the ILCA 7, ILCA 6 and ILCA 4.
Will this cover fit other Laser dinghies?
No. This cover is designed specifically for the Laser Standard / Radial / 4.7 and ILCA 7 / 6 / 4 hull. It will not fit other Laser-family dinghies with different hull designs, including the Laser Two or Laser Bahia. Please check our other boat cover listings for covers designed for different dinghy and sailboat models.
What outdoor weather protection does my cover provide?
Our outdoor boat covers are designed to protect against rain, dust, dirt, UV exposure, leaves, bird droppings and other everyday outdoor contaminants. We use different materials and construction depending on the specific cover, so please refer to the individual product description for details about the material and level of protection provided by your cover.
Can I use my cover when it’s windy?
Our boat covers are designed with securing systems appropriate to the specific cover and boat. When correctly fitted and secured, they are designed to remain in place under normal outdoor conditions. Like any fabric cover, however, they can be affected by severe or extreme winds. We recommend removing the cover when unusually high winds or severe storms are expected. Damage caused by storms, extreme winds or improper securing is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Can I use my cover while towing?
No. Unless a specific product listing expressly states otherwise, our boat covers are designed for storage protection and we do not recommend using them while the boat is being towed on an open trailer.
Can moisture build up underneath my cover?
Moisture and condensation can develop underneath any outdoor cover depending on temperature, humidity, weather conditions and ventilation. Some of our boat covers use breathable materials and some do not, so please refer to the individual product description for details. We recommend periodically removing the cover to allow both the boat and cover to air out, particularly during extended periods of outdoor storage.
How should I fold and store my cover?
Allow the cover to dry before folding it for extended storage. Folding the cover neatly will make it easier to reinstall the next time you use it. Avoid storing a wet or damp cover in its storage bag or other enclosed space for prolonged periods, as trapped moisture can encourage mold or mildew.
How should I care for my boat cover?
Periodically remove loose dirt and debris and allow the cover to air out. If cleaning is required, follow any care instructions provided with your specific cover. Always allow the cover to dry thoroughly before folding it for extended storage.
Does my boat cover include a warranty?
Warranty coverage varies depending on the specific boat cover and material. Please refer to the individual product description for the warranty that applies to your cover, or contact us if you have any questions about warranty coverage.
