How to Measure Your Boat for a Custom Cover

For handmade boats and boats that are not on our standard pattern file list, please follow these instructions to get a perfectly fit custom cover for your boat.


  1. Measure the Centerline

  • This is the measurement from bow to stern down the middle of the boat.

    • Allow the tape measure to sag to the height of gunnel. Do not pull it tight.

    • What I find works well is to lay your oar across the boat at the oarlocks (but not supported by the oarlocks) and allow the tape measure to sag and touch the oar.

  • Do not include the length of the anchor bracket sticking out past the end of the boat.

  • Enter the measurement in feet and inches in the field provided, to the next whole inch, for example: 16'11"

  1. Measure the Beam

  • Measure to the outside of the gunnel at the oarlocks.

  • Enter the measurement in inches in the field provided, to the next whole inch, for example: 78"

  1. Stern Anchor Bracket

  • Is the anchor bracket mounted at the center, or offset to the right?

  • Make this selection from the dropdown list.
