Poppy Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Why oh WHY .... do sail and boat cover makers use top quality materials - and then stuff them together with RUBBISH, i.e. thread that rots in sunlight ? Surely the additional cost of quality sewing thread is hardly prohibitive ? Talking to a local yard about it , it seems a common issue. Even affecting sails from a well regarded local maker !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 That is a factor of course. However I bet Poppy is wise to that risk with his canvas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
