Canvaswork and Sail Repair

Don Casey

Step by step, picture by picture, how to measure for, construct, modify, maintain, renew, and repair such canvas items as biminis, sail covers, sail bags, cushions, and more, both above deck and below. It also shows how to repair damaged sails on an ordinary home sewing machine. Given that a new sail cover can easily cost $500 and a new sail $2,000, this information has decided appeal. Mail-order material sources are listed.
