Title: Canvas Shopping
Post by: Bob P. on August 21, 2004, 11:07:20 AM
Does anybody have any good advice on where to purchase canvas products? I'm in need of a new mainsail and tiller cover for my CP 23D.

The place my dealer used kept making the sail cover about 7" to short, and so narrow that dacron would hang out of bottom. :x  :x  :x

Hi Bob,

I have had great success with quality sails and covers, etc. form Linthicum Sailmakers in Somerville, NJ. Brad Linthicum owns and operates the company and they do great work. they have a website so you can check them out. Brad has patterns for most anything you need.

He made me great new sails for a GP14 and a nice mainsail cover or my CP16. Check them out as he us really great to deal with. e UPS's anywhere.

Bob -

Check with SailRite, also. They have a good reputation. If yer Admiral sews, you can buy Sunbrella from them, and make your own. I got some "2nd Quality" Sunbrella from them @ $2.50/yard this spring, and there isn't a thing wrong with it. That's a considerable savings...
