canvas etc suppliers

[RonPimm]

As part of our refit in preparation for the final moving aboard my wife wants to create various things, great and small, out of canvas or similar materials. We have the sewing machine, now we need the materials. Despite her best endeavours we have only been able to locate one (non-trade) supplier (Point North, Anglesey) and wonder if anyone has had dealings with them, or knows of any others we might try.

Your bio doesnt say where you are located other than England so difficult to provide good advice.

You can certainly get material and good advice from Master Covers in Port Solent (Portsmouth)

Yes I have some sites for you both in the UK and USA

We used to run a sail repair business whilst we were cruising and obtained specialist supplies from sailrite (see below) who do a mail order service. They are based in the USA but you could check them out for ideas and maybe use them when cruising.

You may be more interested in Pointnorth who supply a lot of stuff in the UK

You can find all this on our website on the following link
Have you visited the Blue Water Cruising Site <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.onpassage.com>http://www.onpassage.com ?

Thanks. Pricelists etc have been solicited from both firms mentioned. I await my wife's canvas creations.
