Light weight full cover material?
Looking to do a full cover that would be lighter than a Sunbrella and still do a good job repelling water. Thought is to have a cover that can go on and off fairly easily perhaps during the summer wher the full cover is just too heavy and bulky. Tried some coated material from Odessey but it wouldn't breathe. Looking for ideas.

Carrie Covers looks like they do some really nice work. Stamoid looks to have a fairly decent price. Does anyone happen to know anything about the real light material that looked like parachute material?

I had a cover for my 35' Fountain made this year out of Stamoid material. Covers entire boat from just below rub rails. VERY happy with it. It is the lighter of the two versions of Stamoid I was shown.

Look at Triton. It is way more water resistant than Sunbrella, yet is much lighter and easy to manage.
Had cockpit cover and full bow to stern cover made - great material.
