I have saved enough Sunbrella to make a regulation sail cover. However,
because I have Dutchman sail flaking system (which I'm not totally happy
with. Subject or an earlier Post!), I want to make a 'trial cover and give
it a couple seasons to see how everything works out.
Not a bad idea.
I have my own sail/canvas machine and can knock out a cover in a day if
don't have to worry about mistakes or wasting expensive Sunbrella.
Have you ever used Tenara (PTFE) thread? We're starting to make a full
boat cover for our C27, but having a devil of a time getting the Tenara
to run on her Pfaff. The problem seems to be that we can't set the upper
tension high enough. It is supposed to be great stuff though, and guaranteed
for lifetime against UV degradation.
Does anyone have any experience with covers made out of the (relatively)
superior silver tarp material??
Nope.
Thanks,
