I managed to overtighten my canvas boat cover last season and in the
process pulled the anchor roller through it at the bow, creating a
nice 18" rip. Had a couple of other minor rips and tears. Got it all
repaired at a local boat canvas shop for $60, and the shop sewed on
double patches of vinyl at the bow where I pulled the cover too tight
over the deck hardware. $60 is a lot better than $400 for a new
"semi-custom" cover.

Still evolving a quick tie/release system for straps that tie the
cover to the trailer...

Cheers.

These are available at craft/fabric stores in the width you need. Get a
few spares, they're cheap.
