Hi

Ive searched through previous threads and unable to find any postings that might help. So has anybody had a decent canvas package made for their boat using the old one as a template? If so can anyone recommend a company who might be able to help, I hate just pulling names out of advertised listings.
Many thanks

Kevin
 
I am meeting Jim Baumann tomorrow to have my canvas template made up. Hopefully it will all be ready for the big launch back into the big blue in March!/forums/images/icons/smile.gif

I have seen some of his work, very impressive!

I had a tonneau cover made for my bayliner by Saundersfoot Automarine (They advertise in "Boat Mart" ) made it on the boat and did a very professional job with some good quality material,so I would think that given a template he would have no trouble .

As a matter of interest how much would you pay for a canopy on a Bayliner 2655 from one of the various manufacturers mentioned. I have been quoted £1300 from a guy who is very good and whom I have used before. Just wondered how competitive he is.

I'm having a complete make-over this winter, a replacement 'hood' for the outside steering position plus a new sun awning covering the whole of the aft deck. But my man certainly didn't want to use the old hood as a template 'cos he said that way you get a new hood that fits as badly as the old one did! Apparently they shrink in one direction, stretch in another etc. So he and his apprentice spent 4 hours on the boat making a model out of polythene, brown paper and cotton-cloth. Can't wait to see the finished article.

Hi Chris.
How is the slow boat cruising going?
Still enjoying it?
Love to hear about it.
Call me and perhaps we could meet for a pint and chinwag?

Hi Mike

Slow boat indeed! She looks quite majestic at 9kts and can manage 11.5 on a good day. Come to think of it, you're right - she's slow but at 18 tonnes it wouldn't pay you to cream across my bow shouting something about being the give way vessel! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Couldn't stand the thought of another UK winter so we have been sunning ourselves out in Australia since November. I'll give you a ring when we return next month. Cheers

My tonneau cost around £375 around 2yrs ago,but it was only a tonneau not a canopy,and my Bayliner at 19ft-6" is just a little shorter than yours!!!
