Greetings, I own vega hull # 712
The cost of boat canvas stuff in my area is very high. Lots more
demand than people doing it. I bought a used industrial sewing
machine for $150 and will do it myself. All the canvas work that I
could use would cost thousands.
I found - via other discussion groups - information and materials
available on the web. Detailed instructions are to be found, for
free, at www.sailrite.com/instructionindex.htm. (They hope to sell
you a kit.)
Materials are pretty cheap at www.gioasails.com. (They sell wholesale
Sunbrella, etc., stainless tubing, hardware...)
I was considering a small retirement business, a few years hence.
