Canvas cover for Sabre 36?


 

New owner of a 1985 Sabre 36 here.? Any advice on acquiring and using a canvas cover for the winter?? Anyone have suggestions on where to get one?? Thanks in advance!

Depends on if you want custom forever, ?custom lasts well, or DIY. ?I made mine from the diy description on Sailrite and have been very pleased. ?One support PVC did break this winter 5 seasons already but the frame was cracked in the Fall so I risked too far. ??

not for the faint of heart but the fabric choice is excellent if you have it made of Aqualon.?

Two considerations:? 1) go to a specialist like Fairclough. I have had a Fairclough frame and canvas on my 402 for 10 years. I'm in Toronto so at least 6 months of harsh winter. Has only needed minor repair.? Choice 2) buy a very cheap polyethylene tarpaulin in Canada we can get a 20ft X 40ft one? for less that $100 at Canadian Tire.? It may only require a partial frame that can be made with 2x4's or PBS. You can replace every year.? Just some things to consider. Mike

I too have a Fairclough cover, excellent quality and will serve for decades with regular maintenance.
