Picture yourself gliding across the water, executing roll tacks with precision and confidence. For Solo dinghy sailors, having toestraps that are easy to use and a mainsheet that is grippy is essential for an enjoyable sailing experience. The Solo has captured the hearts of many for its ability to perform in light winds and remain manageable in a blow. Our products reflect that commitment to quality and performance. Here is some essential gear available on the Creation Covers shop that every Solo dinghy sailor should consider.


Super Fast and Extra Comfortable!


Our toestraps are designed for speed and comfort! Using closed cell foam and Weathermax outer material (on our padded straps), they won’t weigh you down in the water. This means you can sail faster without any hindrance.

Orange and Black, but other colours are available too.

Looking After the Steering System


Are you concerned about your steering gear? Our padded rudder bags are the perfect solution. They offer padding, breathability, and zip access for ease of use. Plus, we’ve included a pocket on the front for the shrouds and forestay.

Storage Solutions for Your Snacks


Where do you put your snacks while sailing? Almost every Solo we’ve seen has a halyard bag. While some use it for halyards, ours are spacious enough for spares and a few treats. They are made from mesh material for drainage in case you capsize.

Control and Adjustment for Optimal Performance


Our mainsheet is not only cost-effective but also highly functional. We offer a tapered option, which can provide a slight advantage in a fleet where small margins make a significant difference.
