We are making the switch from Sunbrella to Stamoid. Several boats in our marina have gone this way and the dodgers and biminis seem to hold up better then the Sunbrella. It does not shrink, mildew, and is waterproof. It is the same material most convertable tops are made from.

We have no experience fabricating the material but we have been assured it is as easy to work with as Sunbrella is. We let you know how it goes, we use 92 thread, size 18 Schmetz needles, on an old Consew wf machine.
