Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

Cape Horn 36 Tournament T-Top Boat Cover — Legacy Offshore Platform, Full-Hull Cover Protection
The Cape Horn 36 Tournament is the predecessor to the current 36 XS — a dedicated offshore tournament platform built for anglers who fish the canyons, the Gulf Stream, and 100-mile overnight runs. At approximately 36’11” with a 10’6” beam and room for triple or quad outboards up to 1,200 HP, this center console carried the Fabbro family’s foam-filled composite construction into the big-boat class. The 385-gallon fuel tank gives you the range, the 23-degree deadrise delivers a dry ride, and the proprietary cutwater refined over 35 years cuts through swells other boats pound over. A precision-fitted T-Top boat cover protects this tournament investment between events and seasons — exactly when UV, salt, and weather do the most damage.
Pattern-Cut to the 36 Tournament’s Legacy Cockpit Layout
The 36 Tournament’s cockpit was designed around one objective — putting anglers in the best position to catch big fish. Rod storage, massive fish boxes, outrigger mounts, and a walk-in console with full-size head compartment fill this hull with hardware that salt and UV attack relentlessly. This T-Top cover is pattern-cut to the 36 Tournament’s specific deck configuration, wrapping around the T-Top legs, console, outrigger bases, and all cockpit hardware. The multi-engine transom is fully enclosed under the cover, protecting every powerhead and rigging connection. The hem cord cinches the cover at the rubrail, adjustable straps handle the wind loads of a 37-foot freeboard, and one person manages the install in under five minutes. The Cape Horn 34 XS T-Top cover protects the latest hull technology with 900 HP and XS comfort features in a 35-foot package.
Cover Protection for a Legacy Hull Worth Preserving
Discontinued doesn’t mean less valuable — the 36 Tournament earned its reputation over years of offshore tournament results, and maintaining the hull and interior with proper cover protection preserves that value. Our 9oz solution-dyed marine fabric is rated for 5-7 years of sustained coastal exposure, with a breathable DWR finish that prevents the trapped moisture that breeds mildew under covers on large boats. Sunbrella acrylic extends cover protection to 8-10 years for year-round outdoor storage. Double-stitched seams handle sustained dock wind on a 37-foot profile, and the 2-year manufacturer warranty backs every cover. Cape Horn’s 10-year hull warranty and lifetime transom guarantee reflect the quality built into this hull. The Cape Horn 32 T-Top cover protects the same generation of Cape Horn engineering in a more manageable 32-foot platform.
