      Looking for a new top cover for 2122 – any recommendations for where to get a decent, breathable cover from. The current one is a Hyde I think which is water proof but only because it soaks up water like a nappy!

      Lovely new website btw!

      I have a couple of covers made by http://www.rainandsun.co.uk/ they are pretty good. Have you purchased your second OK yet? ….. #hooked

      Thanks Colin. Not quite got one just yet, but all going well in the next couple of weeks I will have tho.

      Am I hooked? TBH I was hooked the first time I sailed an OK at the end of 2015 (and ended up buying it).  I sailed mine a couple of weekends ago and when I got home, looked at the Solo in the front garden and realised that not only was it uncomfortable for me to sail it didn’t make me WANT to go and sail it unlike the OK that calls to me.

      I have been doing some work with Rain and Sun to update their OK cover patterns.

      Here are some photos of covers in their nice “Hydralite” fabric:-OK overboom cover

      How strange is that, I popped into Rain and Sun yesterday and ordered myself some new covers in the new Hydralite material.

      Talking to Philip Bull, I have convinced him to at least have a test sail in a OK and he may even buy one.
