Hi Arthur.
Check out the following site, they make custom covers.  If they don't 
already have a pattern for your kayak you can send them the dimensions 
and they will make one up.  I've seen them at the L. L. Bean symposium, 
the quality looks pretty good.

blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a 
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
