Hi,
Having got hold of an industrial sewing machine I decided to make my own boat cover (size approx 3 metres x 2 metres). I'm talking about a canvas type cover that will go from the back of the cabin to the stern, to protect my newly renovated boat from the elements and seagulls when the boat is on it's mooring. I would like some suggestions as to what material to use and is there any Australian marine fabric suppliers you would recommend. I know about the US made "Sunbrella" material but it is too expensive for my wallet, so I guess am looking for something a bit cheaper but still reasonably durable.
Any suggestions please?
