Covers for the Cushions on my Vega

vega1860 · Feb 20, 2003

I have had my cushions recovered once (More than ten years ago)and I am having them redone a second time this year. I also have had cushions and covers custom made for my dinette seats. In the marina where I live there are always a couple of cruisers or semi-permanent resident boaters who do canvas work and will come to the boat to take measurements and do fittings etc. Prices very reasonable too. I'd try asking around your local marina and/or boatyard(s), check the bulletin boards and such.

Aloha,

Chuck

We used Sunbrella for ours. Very durable and lots of patterns too. Not just
your standard exterior boat colors. For the forepeak we did three cushions
and ran them from port to starboard instead of fore and aft. It makes them
more manageable and they go through the forepeak hatch for airing. Judy had
the canvas lady put tabs on the bottom seam so that she could hang them from
the lifelines. Worked well. Get a guarantee. We had interior cushions done
for another boat and the seams were horrible. The shop wound up redoing
them. Ask around and don't settle for the first shop. Prices tend to be
cheaper in the winter so you might be able to have different shops bid on
it. Walt, Lyric
