Cobra 8.5m RIB Cover | Custom-Made in the UK by Goldsails
Order your Cobra 8.5m RIB cover direct from Goldsails and give your boat the protection it deserves. An 8.5m Cobra represents the pinnacle of RIB performance, so its cover should match that standard. Therefore, we use digital CAD templating and automated CNC cutting on our VersaTech table to produce a cover that follows the exact lines of the Cobra hull. As a result, you get a drum-tight fit that prevents water pooling, wind-chafing, and UV damage — all year round.

Choose Your Cover Type
We offer two distinct cover types for the Cobra 8.5m, because different sailors have different storage and usage needs. Furthermore, both versions use the same premium marine-grade fabric and CNC-precision construction, so you do not sacrifice quality whichever option you choose.
Mooring Cover
The Cobra 8.5m mooring cover suits boats that stay on the water or in a marina between uses. It shields the boat against UV rays, bird mess, and coastal salt spray. Additionally, the lightweight design allows easy single-handed installation, so you can cover up quickly at the end of every day on the water. The breathable fabric prevents moisture from building up underneath, which consequently stops mould and mildew from forming on the upholstery and deck.
- Breathable marine fabric: Prevents moisture build-up and mould.
- UV protection: Shields upholstery and gelcoat from sun damage.
- Salt and bird-mess resistant: Ideal for marina and on-water storage.
- Lightweight and quick to fit: Easy for one person to install.
Trailer Cover
The Cobra 8.5m trailer cover is our most robust storage solution. It protects your RIB on a trailer or in a dry stack, and therefore features reinforced internal patches at all high-friction contact points. Note that this cover suits stationary storage only — we do not recommend fitting it before towing.
- Heavy-duty construction: Reinforced at all trailer contact points.
- Dry stack compatible: Ideal for yard or dry stack storage.
- Maximum weatherproofing: Fully waterproof and UV-stable.
- Secure fastening system: Marine shock cords and webbing keep the cover in place.
Why the Goldsails Cobra 8.5m RIB Cover is Different
Unlike generic covers, our Cobra 8.5m RIB cover matches the exact hull pattern and uses CNC cutting specific to this boat. Moreover, every seam aligns perfectly, which reduces material stretch and helps the cover retain its shape for years. Our team hand-finishes each cover at our UK workshop, and consequently every cover leaves fully quality-checked and ready to fit.
