Optimist Bottom Cover Optiparts EX1097

Keep your Optimist dinghy in top condition with this high-quality UV-resistant bottom cover. Designed to protect the hull from scratches, abrasion and sun exposure, it is manufactured from 320 g/m² 600D solution-dyed polyester – a premium marine-grade material known for its exceptional durability and superior colourfastness. Unlike pigment-dyed polyester, solution-dyed fabric retains its colour longer and offers far better UV resistance, even under intensive use.

The cover features a soft 190T inner lining combined with a layer of closed-cell foam to protect the hull from pressure points and impacts. EVA backing adds extra strength and stability, making the cover ideal for both daily handling and long-term protection during transport or storage.

Though not breathable, the materials are chosen to ensure maximum mechanical protection and resistance to harsh outdoor environments. This bottom cover is a must-have accessory for sailors, clubs, and competitive teams who want to maintain the performance and appearance of their Optimist dinghy.
