Bag covers are great but if you have specific fixing points (blocks glued to the hull etc) you will need to send them a sketch of where to put the eyelet holes.  A clear pocket in the front is handy for course cards etc as well.  Tim Gatti even has some green canvas ones on Mat to match his canvas foredeck cover, very traditional they are too.

As Chadders notes - I had some green canvas ones made up (and a matching fore-deck spray cover) for N341 by a local tent and canvas awning manufacturer in Bradford. (see pics on Boat database)
I took in a full-size template/pattern of what I wanted with posn of eyeletted holes required and they made them up for me.
Might be worth checking out if there is a similar firm near you. Tim
