Lightning

Kinder Industries crafts custom boat covers for the Lightning dinghy—one of the most enduring and competitive one-design sailboats in the world. Whether you’re an avid racer or a weekend cruiser, protecting your Lightning from the elements is essential for performance and longevity. Our covers are tailored to fit the Lightning’s classic lines and unique rigging, offering superior coverage for transport, off-season storage, or everyday dockside protection.

Choose from a variety of options, including top covers, bottom covers, and full mast-up or mast-down configurations. Each cover is designed to accommodate the Lightning’s 19-foot hull, centerboard trunk, and complex rig setup. Reinforced corners, UV-resistant materials, and secure tie-downs ensure that your cover stays in place, even during travel or harsh weather.

We use breathable marine-grade fabrics that prevent mildew, reduce heat buildup, and block damaging UV rays. These high-quality materials keep your hull and rigging in excellent condition and help extend the life of your sails and hardware.

Proudly made in the USA, Kinder Industries’ covers are trusted by yacht clubs, sailing schools, and championship fleets nationwide. When it comes to protecting your Lightning, settle for nothing less than a custom fit and premium craftsmanship.
