Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially Harry and the plum (try
a sewing machine!).

Comments appreciated. I found a shop that'll do the job. Now I'll let
it dry out a bit and take it in.

Again, thanks



I guess you don't know how to use one. You should learn.

I can see you have never tried to sew the middle of a large canvas cover on
a home sewing machine.



You don't get out much, eh? Most covers for small boats aren't made up
from heavy cotton canvas, but from much lighter and thinner poly
fabrics. My wife sewed a small patch on my Parker's poly cover with a
plain old home sewing machine.

Of course, one has to have a competent wife. Perhaps you and herring can
seek our a neighbor's wife. No competent woman would have anything to do
with either of you.
