Custom Firefly Dinghy Top Cover | Hand-Made in the UK by Goldsails
Protect your Firefly dinghy all year round with a custom-made Firefly dinghy top cover from Goldsails. Whether you store your boat in the club park, transport it on a road trailer, or keep it in a garage, we make the right cover for you. Furthermore, every Firefly top cover is CAD-designed and CNC-cut on our VersaTech table, so you get a precision fit that is specific to the Firefly hull and deck profile.
Additionally, both covers come in UV-stable black marine polyester, and our team hand-finishes every one at our UK workshop. As a result, you receive a cover that looks smart, fits perfectly, and lasts for years.

Choose Your Cover Style
Option 1: Overboom Top Cover
The Firefly Overboom Top Cover is designed for sailors who want the boom to be fully enclosed beneath the cover. It fits over the boom, so the cover creates a high-tented ridge profile that sheds rain, leaves, and debris instantly. Consequently, there is no pooling of water on deck, and the cover stays taut even in strong winds. This is therefore the ideal Firefly dinghy top cover for year-round outdoor storage in the boat park or on a trailer.
- High-tented ridge profile: Water and debris shed off immediately.
- Boom fully enclosed: The cover fits over the boom, keeping it protected underneath.
- Ideal for outdoor storage: Boat park, dinghy park, or roadside trailer.
- Maximum protection: Covers the entire deck, cockpit, and boom.
Option 2: Flat Top Cover
The Firefly Flat Top Cover is designed for sailors who keep both the mast and boom on the boat, with the cover fitting flat across the deck and the boom resting on top of it. Because the cover sits beneath the boom rather than over it, it gives a lower, flatter profile compared to the Overboom version. As a result, it is an excellent choice for sailors who prefer a sleeker, more streamlined look when storing their Firefly, or where overhead clearance in a storage facility is limited. In addition, the lower profile can be an advantage on a road trailer, as it reduces wind resistance during transport.
- Flat, low-profile design: The cover sits across the deck with the boom resting on top.
- Mast and boom remain on the boat: No need to remove any spars before covering.
- Sleeker appearance: Neater, lower profile than the Overboom version.
- Easy solo fitting: Quick to fit and remove single-handed.
- Ideal where overhead clearance is limited, or for a streamlined trailer profile.
Premium UV-Stable Marine Fabric
Both versions use solution-dyed, UV-stable marine-grade polyester in black. This is the same high-specification fabric that we use across our full range of dinghy covers and keelboat covers. It is colourfast, abrasion-resistant, and fully waterproof, so it maintains its performance through years of British weather. Reinforced double-stitched seams mean the cover holds together reliably under heavy use or during winter lay-up.
CNC-Precision Cut to the Firefly Hull Profile
Unlike off-the-shelf covers, our Firefly dinghy top cover is CNC-cut specifically to the Firefly deck and hull profile using CAD-designed templates. Therefore the cover fits snugly without bagging, flapping, or leaving exposed areas. Adjustable webbing straps and buckles allow you to tension the cover firmly around the hull for a clean, secure fit every time.
