    Thanks for the update Dave, interesting project this one and a real fiddle of a job to get right. The folks that make custom boat covers and canopies for a living are very talented.

      Yes I agree. Probably why they're so much money!

    looking good!
    i think a zip woul;d be a better option than velcro though,
    neater and stronger

      I agree and have obtained some zips. I htink the project will grow slowly until we get something usable!

      @@SailingWithDave talking about restoringn old boats...
      i spent a year restoring an old wooden enterprise, every time you thought you were done another patch of rot magically appeared😅 i think theres around 7/8 patches in her
      eventually finished (sort of).
      enjoy looking for another boat!

      @@sailor-m7h And tyat was a small dinghy! I do think this boat is too big and too much work, but it was worth a look as it was offered to me for free really. The other issue is the lack of trailer which would probably cost me more than the boat!!! I have a Mirror too and, despite its size, being all wood has meant a surprising amount of work each year to keep her afloat. Thast not including the rp69591622eairs I have had to make too!!!

    Thank you for this video. It may be useless for me (as I'm not living in the UK) but were did you buy the vinyl ?

      Hi Christophe. Sorry for the delay, I've been away sailing!
      The original PVC is black from here:
      www.profabrics.co.uk/collections/marine-fabric-pvc/products/lightweight-pvc-400gsm-1
      But I think its too lightweight, so I bought some more but heavier weight in Burgundy, that matches the sails.

      It'll give you an idea of the stuff I used at least anyway so you can find it elsewhere. Pro frabrics may post to othe rcountries?

    at 28 mins you repaeted some clips, i can see the idea , and should do well , maybe a cuddy cabin would be a good project like Rob has

    • @SailingWithDave
      @SailingWithDave  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I will check that, but I can't see anything repeated here. I did consider a wooden cuddy of some nature, but was worried about the windage with something being bolted onto the gunnels up high. I do wonder if I should get aboat with a cuddy!!!
