{Stus-List} Canvas maker recommendations

[Frederick G Street]

Nobody has yet mentioned Sailrite.  I measured my flaked main on the  
boom and sent them the measurements; they pre-marked the Sunbrella in  
my color choice, and shipped it in a kit along with thread, twist- 
locks, etc.  I did a bit of customizing to fit around my lazy jacks,  
and sewed the thing myself.  As I recall (it was a few years ago... ),  
the kit was around $220.  It turned out great.
