[Rhodes22-list] Boids-- stinkin rotten boids

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Just for general consumption (if you happen to have it, of course)  Sailrite will ship you 60" Sunbrella as you wish, although more expensive.  Any cover will be better and more durable if you reinforce the edges.  Just some helpful advise.

I'd suggest Sunbrella, fitted if possible, fixed to the boom if possible to avoid material shifting.  It is not an easy application but will work well if done right.  Same suggestion on the foredeck, which is a most likely target.  Sunbrella is easily cleaned, although much more expensive.
