Title: Mainsail cover / Canvas repairs
Post by: KWKloeber on July 30, 2023, 11:05:27 PM
Hey
I occasionally see owners asking about local canvas people.
I am passing along that a C-30 member, Ward Hutton, started doing custom new mains'l covers and repairs

The info is here if anyone is interested...

Guys : I'm sure that Kens canvas guy will do a C34 mainsail cover - just give him the length of your boom.  Almost ANY canvas shop will make you a M S Cover

Guys : You might want to look at Sailrite.

If you know someone with a heavy duty sewing machine - making a mainsail cover is an easy task.  You can use the old one for a pattern !!

Guys : Infact I've used a Pfaff regular sewing machine to repair sails and canvas.  You just have to hand sew when you get seams that have over 2 layers of material.  Did that for many years until I got a Sailrite walking foot zig zag machine!!
