Weathercloths Done

[waterdog]

Finished the weathercloths on the cockpit this week.   Stitched together 100 cones for the series drogue and rented the house this week.  Oh yeah.  And ordered a bushel of spares from the tractor dealer.   This whole cruising to Mexico thing is starting to look rather serious...

Looks good, how much effort was it to make?

Weather cloths are about the easiest of all canvas projects and can be done with a home sewing machine.  I simply sewed a pocket at the top that the lifeline passes through.   The other three sides have hems folded over.   Good grommets are important - I used #2 spur grommets for lacing the sides.   They require a punch and dies.   sailrite.com is one source.  The bottom is held with twist fasteners screwed into the toe rail.
