A couple of years ago I built a plywood and epoxy canoe and to my shame I still don't have a cover for it. I am planning to make one, I think I can borrow a heavy duty sewing machine for this project.
The idea is to make it from three pieces, port side, starboard side and top, with a zip up the centerline. The canoe sits on a contraption that dangles it against the side of my house so this arrangement will allow easy access.
But everywhere I look I see different advice about what material to use. I assume it needs to be breathable since the canoe is made from wood. I've seen "teflon coated acrylic" described as they best material and the same said of PVC.
Any insights or suggestions gratefully received.
