To do this, either request an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) in your account or, if you ordered as a guest, send an email to info@topdekzeilen.nl, including your name and order number. We will then create the RMA for you, and you will receive a prepaid return label for use with PostNL (for Dutch addresses only).

Please contact us, and we can discuss how best to assist you.

Pack the cover securely and go to your local post office. Insure the package for at least the purchase amount and send it to the address listed on the contact page. Before or after sending, create an RMA through your account or by sending an email to info@topdekzeilen.nl.

Through our RMA system, you will be kept informed, but it's all quite straightforward. After receiving the cover in our warehouse, we conduct a check to ensure it is still in new condition. Once confirmed, we will refund the purchase amount through the same payment method you used when placing your order.

After receiving the cover in our warehouse, we conduct a check to ensure it is still in new condition. Once confirmed, we will refund the purchase amount through the same payment method you used when placing your order. This process may take approximately one workweek after the cover arrival.

Unfortunately, that's not possible. We tailor our materials to the type of boat, so it may happen that not all materials are offered for a specific boat or class.

Yes, it's possible! It's best to contact us directly at info@topdekzeilen.nl. It would be helpful if you include some standard dimensions of your sailboat in the email.

After years of research and real-world testing, we have selected two materials: Bisonyl and Bluetex.

Bisonyl is a perfect material for the casual sailor. It is extremely durable, long-lasting, UV-resistant, and requires no maintenance outside of the sailing season. If Bisonyl gets dirty (e.g., bird droppings), it can easily be cleaned with a pressure washer! Bisonyl also offers excellent value for money. However, Bisonyl does not breathe and is heavier and stiffer than Bluetex. As a result, it is a bit less manageable than Bluetex, making it slightly more difficult to neatly place your cover back on the boat at the end of the day.

Bluetex is the best material for the more demanding sailor. Its most important advantage is its excellent breathability. This allows water vapor to escape from under the cover without letting rain seep in. Bluetex also looks great — even better than Bisonyl — because it is a woven fabric. This gives it an immediate premium appearance! Bluetex is easier to fold, more flexible, and more user-friendly than Bisonyl.

Topdekzeilen gives a standard warranty of 12 months from the date of purchase. If you would like to lodge a warranty claim you can do this by e-mail or directly through your account on our website (RMA). In case your boatcover is older than the 12 months, please still contact us. Most of the time we can still help you as we all love to go out sailing.
