My canvas...
...was done by Thurston Canvas in Bristol, RI. Neil Thurston has built my canvas for my last two boats and does a wonderful job. This job was a total of $3,000.00 which included the dodger, bimini, and sail cover.He trimmed the trailing edge of the bimini with leather to offer chafe protection. However, I've not had any problems with chafe. The bimini frame is far enough forward to be out of the way of the mainsheet but far enough back so that it doesn't rain on me.I can take more detailed pics of the arrangement and e-mail them to you. My e-mail is:bat@sailonly.comJim is a terrific person to deal with. He sold my boat to the PO when it was new. You may have seen it in the Dauntless yard, it was formerly called "Port O' Call" and was there for about a year until I snapped it up early last year.Did tons of work and made some major improvements. The following work was accomplished by me and a good friend: - Tore out every inch of wiring and completely rewired with Ancor marine grade both AC/DC - Installed new breaker panel and battery switch in custom enclosure above the nav station - Stripped and barrier coated the bottom - New head, holding tank, and maceratorBecause the engine died during the survey, Dauntless installed a 2004 Volvo/Perkins MD-2030 with 2004 MS25S saildrive compliments of the PO. I installed a Seahawk Slipstream stainless steel folding prop to replace the crummy old Volvo/Gori that wasn't worth dung.BobNS30C #77Lazybones
