Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially Harry and the plum (try
a sewing machine!).

Comments appreciated. I found a shop that'll do the job. Now I'll let
it dry out a bit and take it in.

Again, thanks

I guess you don't know how to use one. You should learn.

I can see you have never tried to sew the middle of a large canvas cover
on
a home sewing machine.

You don't get out much, eh? Most covers for small boats aren't made up
from heavy cotton canvas, but from much lighter and thinner poly fabrics.
My wife sewed a small patch on my Parker's poly cover with a plain old
home sewing machine.

Of course, one has to have a competent wife. Perhaps you and herring can
seek our a neighbor's wife. No competent woman would have anything to do
with either of you.
Most small boat covers are still fairly heavy, and most home sewing machines
have a limited throat depth.

Harry's cover may have torn on the edge. If so, there wouldn't be much
to shove into the throat of the sewing machine.

Of course, just being Harry would make the job much easier. One
wonders how he got his cover torn when he always shrink wraps his
boat.
If he was your best buddy, you would know. He didn't use the boat this
season, and it rained too much and a puddle developed in the middle.
He meant to go out and check on the boat, but someone had to keep
posting in rec.bolts, so it just got too heavy.

You tell 'em little buddy pal....
