I had a Sailor's Tailor cover for my Catalina 22, and found it well constructed but surprisingly I preferred to use a $30 tarp instead. It was extremely heavy and time consuming to remove and reinstall to work on the boat, and it was not waterproof- the deck and cockpit would still get wet during heavy rain and I never could get the topsides totally sealed on that boat. The material was also so thick that storing it folded off the boat required a surprisingly large amount of space. It was constructed to last a lifetime, but I found a heavy tarp tented over the mast was more waterproof, breathed better, and made the boat easier to access and work on.
