Doyle Cradle Covers
The Doyle Cradle Cover was designed for sailors who want easy sail handling and sun protection—without the hassle.
Originally developed in response to a request from The Moorings charter fleet, the Cradle Cover (also known as a StackPack) allows you to easily remove and reinstall it from your mainsail. If your main ever needs repairs, no problem—a new sail can go up, and the cover can go right back on.
Perfect for today’s performance-oriented boats with larger mainsails, the Doyle Cradle Cover makes sail handling effortless. Drop the halyard, zip it up, and you’re done.
Even if you don’t fully zip the cover, your sail stays mostly protected from UV damage. It’s ideal for cruisers who might not always cover their sails after a lunch stop or quick anchorage. Reefing is also easier—the Cradle Cover holds the extra sailcloth so you don’t need intermediate sail ties.
Key Features:
- UV-resistant Sunbrella® fabric in a wide range of colors
