Good Morning Mr. Lohman.
Last fall (2002) you made a full cover for my
Island Packet 380 and it was delivered in Jan
2003. I installed the cover and it fit like a glove - amazing to me.
However, after last winter's few small snow storms and now this
year's greater rain, ice and snow, I believe a frame is necessary to keep the
water from pooling on the cover fore and aft of the shrouds, both port and
starboard. We have removed several large blocks of ice that formed as a
result of rain, melting snow and freezing temperatures. The result has been a
stretching of the cover (a little) and extra strain on some (2) of the
zippers, causing the zipper fabric to separate. I should have them repaired
in the spring. Do you have a plan for frames or can you offer suggestions
about what I should do? I really like my cover. Thanks, Paul Bigelman

Thanks for making the adjustments. I really like the cover. I can't understand why more boat owners don't use them. I put it on in ten minutes. It saves me far more time than that in cleaning time. Plus the boat finish does not deteriorate nearly as quickly. The cover is light and easy to stow away. If you ever need a reference, feel free to use me. See you in the Fall for final adjustments. The rear, at the engine end may need some reinforcement.

Pete, Chris Lohmann put the cover on the boat today, and it was worth the wait. It?s a beautiful fit, grey but bright inside, reasonably light still, and lots of clever patches and reinforcing at all the stress points. Little ports for the lines and fenders to pop out from, well in keeping with the boat itself as a work of art. True German craftsmanship.
Chris put two poles amidships for propping up the fabric to make it drain properly, very elegant and streamlined. It?s well set up now for the run to FL, has good straps inside to further secure it. Chris took it back to his shop for some final fitting, a strap or two was too short and it dangles a few inches into the water, so be assured that it will fit *perfect*.
Best Regards;
