Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions

Well, thank you so much for your flattering comments!

It's difficult to just generally say which features are important for all cruising dodgers as I feel that the ocean-going passage-maker...

Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions

Rhapsody-NS27, Sunbrella marine acrylic would be a good fabric choice for the applications that you listed but make sure that you are buying Sunbrella brand Sunbrella, made by Glen Rave. If it is...

Re: pros and cons for a 42' center cockpit ketch

Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions

Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions

Thanks Ann,

About using clear vinyl for reinforcement I avoid that for most projects, especially ones that are tensioned on a frame. Since the vinyl shrinks differently than the acrylic or...

Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions

I neither work on sails nor sell them, these are just observations from someone who used to work in a sail loft (doing canvas work).

Re: Frequently Asked Canvas Questions
