Project: Back Cove 30

Announced in the company blog, Back Cove is set to replace its 29 with the above 30 project. The 29 started the company and propelled it to a success of delivering over four hundred plus of boats in five years time. The 30 will replace the first Back Cove as of coming late Spring of next year. Unlike the 29 the new 30 will be offered standard with hard top, Yanmar 315hp engines, molded-in cockpit seating and a transom door. The interior seating, and head unit take a lot from its predecessor, with the exception in the improved galley storage and the manner in which the salon transforms into a berth. Here Back Cove used a concept to use the berth cushions which lay along the hull side, which can be deployed athwart ships to create a cozy environment in which to relax below decks. In the main deck inside the saloon Back Cove also raised the seating so that everyone has the same view as the helmsman while underway. The interior accommodation plan is presented with an L-shaped saloon settee to starboard of the main deck, with a settee opposite, single helm chair to starboard, and a double passenger seat to port. Down three steps take you below with a shower head to port, opposite galley, and vee shaped saloon to fore which transforms to a double berth. The cockpit follows the concept of the new Back Coves with molded-in seating and the easy access through the transom door.

  1. I currently own a 2007 Back Cove 33 and am extremely happy with this craft in every way. The navy blue gelcoat is fading, however, and I'm at a loss as to the BEST solution to retard this inevitable oxidation or uv process. New gelcoat?? New navy paint?? Does the white deck surface need attention, or just wax to protect it?? Mike in NC

  2. Hello Mike T,
    Compliments for the Back Cove 33, that is a nice boat.
    Did you try to buff and wax the blue?
    Before jumping so early (3 years old) to repaint it. The white surface too needs wax and protection on any boat. I think removing salt with a wash and wax type cleaner every time one returns to his marina is very healthy too. Try buffing a small part with soft compound and see what happens. If this is good you can do the whole boat then. If the soft compound is not enough go for a harder more agressive one. It is important that if this works you give a protective polish wax. These blue hulls usuall get matt for the UV effect on the stern more then other places because there is where you have the heat for the sun and dew water being dryed up happening every day. Hope I was helpful! I suggest you also ask some tips on how to polish on thehulltruth or reelboating forums. There is some knowlegable people in these places which can help you choose the best product too.
