Sailmakers and canvas repair
« on: November 01, 2016, 08:21:06 am »
It's the end of the season. My main sail which is original to my boat Sanctuary P303 is looking like it is in need of a recut, however Owing to it's age I'm also considering replacing it. Our dodger is also in need of repair work - seams and zipper. Any recommendations on sailmakers and canvas shops for repair work? We are in middle river.

I've used North Sails in Eastport. They're good but expensive.
There's a little canvas shop in Pasadena called Atlantic Canvas that has been doing my
sunbrella work recently. Owner's name is Ashby. Good work at a fair price.

Thanks Ed.
I got estimates from several sailmakers and in the end chose north. I'm sure they are all good quality but I liked having a rep nearby. Next on my wish list is a gennaker. Maybe later this summer. May try to find a used one this time around.
