Hi all
Does anyone know or can recommend anywhere to purchase a canopy for a Norman 23.
I have tried to contact Coverit but it looks like they have gone out of business ?
Regards

I depends on your budget....
Bespoke - made to fit your boat.... it very much depends on your location. No canopy maker is going to travel too far. Ask around your local chandlers or owners. Have a look at some of their work before committing. A good canopy maker will have a waiting list.....
Of the shelf... Coverit, really gone bust??? or http://www.nauticover.co.uk for £470
Nauticover will need your old canopy to copy, whatever they say on the site, they will need your old canopy..... not a bad job, my mate just had one done for his Freeman 22. Still needs a good half day DIY fitting though.

Hi johnglenys
Do you have any more details on the Staffordshire one as I am in Stoke on Trent. Did they come out to do the measuring etc.
Hi Deano
I have sent nautical dr a message and await their reply,
Thanks for your help.

I had one made last year by nauticover and it was a great job and much cheaper than other quotes i got...i paid £525 for a canvas canopy for a norman 20....like someone has already mentioned though they do need your old canopy to copy...but think it was only around 5-6 days turnaround time...they book you in on a certain day or days then you send them you're old canopy a couple of days before

Hello MickJulie,
Staffordshire canopies did a great job on my boat it included new frame as well.The 27 canopy is probably smaller than yours and cost me £800.
A Great job and a nice bloke. |

Just had another quote of £950 from Bethsaida Covers, but to be fair to him he said the one on isn't that bad just needs a repair.
So it's looking like a repair or Nauticover for a canopy |

Hi all
I had the dear stalker and pipe on the God and decided to do a little detective work.
Gary White is now trading as All Seasons Covers, I have sent him an email and await his reply.

Hope the prices are still as competitive as Coverit were.
Hope this helps one or two out.
Regards
Mick |

All seasons quote was £600, recommends having the frame making it £700, comes in a kit form where you have to put your own fasteners in place but everything provided.
Nauticover are quoting from £470 in pic to £530 in canvas. I think you send your canopy to them as a pattern.
Think I will visit All Seasons in Manchester,
Still looking |

Could give Wilson's a ring in Kinver, about 40 miles from you. I have used these in the past.
