By Jim Grant—Sailrite's founder - 186 pgs., 230 illus., 8-1/2" x 11" softcover. The Best Book on Canvaswork Yet!
This second edition is larger by half and thoroughly updated and revised, with many new illustrations.
It's more than just an idea book. The step-by-step instructions make construction of your own canvas projects easy and enjoyable. The instructions are thorough and straightforward with numerous detailed illustrations. There is no other printed work that so precisely describes actual canvas projects and the proper way to make them.
There is great satisfaction in putting together fabric items that fit! No more awkward fitting covers, awnings, bags or harnesses. Your boat can look like it should. And you can protect it from the elements at the same time.
The techniques are tested and polished. The results of your careful workmanship will be useful items that are indistinguishable from expensive off-the-shelf items.
