Just the canvas, I have the frame and can bring the old one as a pattern. The quotes I have here in Turkey come to almost a thousand Euros!, including a couple of mesh sunscreens and zips, plus velcro to hold my flexible solar panels. Labour should be cheaper here but is almost half the quote.
EDIT: I forgot to say that it measures 3.4 metres wide by 1.65 metres fore and aft.

I'm very interested to learn about this. I want to replace my covers as well. Unfortunately most marine suppliers and service providers in Turkey tend to quote crazy prices to foreign boat owners especially businesses located inside marinas. Whenever possible I try to get prices from outside the marina and I get one of my Turkish friends to ask for a quote on my behalf. I literally have no idea how much covers cost so I'd like some basic information before I go shopping around.
 
I had another quote from a well known sailmaker in town. It was double the first one! I have now bargained the first quote down to a more reasonable figure and placed the order since I was about to go home and hasd no time for further quotes. It still seems expensive but does include all the extras I wanted, and I trust the work of the company concerned as they have doe jobs for me before.
