Tarps / covers for 22 Cruiser

Those of you with tarps for your 22 Cruisers can you tell me where you ordered them. Do they need to be custom made or will a ready made work. Really need one to keep out leaves & pine straw while my boat is parked at the house in the winter.
Thanks

Many owners have had good luck with Angola Canvas www.angolacanvascompany.com. Ours can handle a snow load and has the side zipper. They have the C-Dory 22 pattern and it fits well. If you just want to cover the cockpit to keep out leaves have a local canvas shop make a cockpit cover.

We got ours from Angola Canvas. They have the C-Dory patterns. You choose the material and tell them the details of what you want and they will tell you the price.

I've got one on order with Angola currently. They will ask for some pictures and measurements if you have any interfering accessories (i.e. radar arch). You may need to be proactive to make progress with them. But a lot of people here have recommended them, and they were about 40% less expensive than the local option (same material).

Angola ia a small shop with 6 employees, the guy who answers the phone is also the one making your cover. I ordered mine and was at my door just over a week later. Just remember the time zone when calling as they are in Indiana. 2 years with my cover and very pleased.

Can vouch for Angola also. Got mine about 7 months ago. Very happy with it and their service. Did not have to send pictures or anything. Just told them what I wanted, and that I had an arch on the back part of the cabin. The thing fits like a glove. I did get the attached motor covers for both the main and kicker, glad I did

Ditto on the great results with Angola. Great quality and price, fast work, no nonsense.

I liked everything about dealing with Angola and the cover itself. I do wish that it came down the sides another 6 to 10 inches as it barely covers the paint stripe.

Ditto to all above.

He's got different materials available, depending on what your needs are; weather, snow load, under a roof etc. We got ours in Sunbrella, since rain is more of a concern than snow load here; the Sunbrella 'breathes' so less mold. The Aqualon is more water proof and will take more of a snow load w/out as much stretch as Sunbrella, but does not 'breathe". This is all per Ed(?), the owner.

I bought mine used from another CBrat. It's a King, and was modified by Bentley's here in Portland to accomodate the radar arch.
