Your non-skid (softsand) turned out fantastic.

Nice, I really like the bright dash... I might need to do something similar, it turned out great.

Beautiful wood!

Ribbon or Quartered Sapele which ever you want to call it is probably my favorite wood. It's so gorgeous!!

A little added comfort for the trip to Alaska in a month. It’s a little difficult finding a canvas shop at the foot of the Rockies so I got the wife’s 1970s model Kenmore sewing machine out and got it done. Not as clean as a professional shop but will keep the rain off. For those who want to do there own upholstery “ Sailrite” has all the hardware and great videos for diy projects, check them out.

Looks great to me.  It adds privacy too ... for those quick cockpit sponge baths or bucket showers... But of course, in MY case, I don't need privacy.  People only look ONCE!

Ya… I like it too.  What is the pole for mounted outside the pilot house at the port corner?

Very cool! Ya, I took the plunge about a month ago and bought a sailrite ultrafeed. I am flirting with a bunch of small canvas projects but I haven't actually done one yet other than run some test seams through the machine. It's a beast though, can do leather or like more than 8 layers thick of outdoor boat canvas. I think your project looks great though, awesome that you just found a way to get it done.

looks good,  I did a project like that 15 years ago and it is still working.  There is something about being warm and dry that we all love.  Did you use the UV protected dacron thread?  It is worth the extra money.

[Djeffrey]

Todd, the pole is part of a small hoist I rigged up to lower my tender down. It is removable for travel.

Speaking of tenders, has anyone used a nesting tender?

[Grady300]

Wow...Looks amazing! I sure love all the great ideas you guys come up with!!!
