I've had a Sailrite sewing machine for a while, and I've been trying to finish a sail cover kit for some time. Even though the sail cover is still under construction, I decided that this winter I'd sew a winter cover for the boat. I don't do shrink wrap and I'm tired of buying plastic tarps every year, especially for the years when I leave my masts up.
So I took the plunge and ordered 35 yards of Sunbrella. Laid it out in a gym and and cut it into sections approx. 18' long. The first step was to sew three sections together which would go between the main and mizzen masts.
Here is the "blank" in the upstairs hall at my boat club. Here's a few pix showing the blank on the frame on my boat:

Now I just have to figure out how to connect the sections before the main mast and after the mizzen to the blank in the center.
