A couple of projects

Sunlight degrades the dacron that the sails are made from. My boat does not spend as much time at anchor with the sails furled as some boats, but still I would fill better if the sails had covers. I got some books from the library and ordered some marine fabric Sunbrella.

I sharpened the tip of an old soldiering iron and used it to cut and heat seal the fabric. I am doing this on an old piece of window glass.

My old Singer is at its limits trying to sew multiple layers of heavy fabric. I am working on sail covers as well as covers for the cushions in the cabin. The covers are finished but you will have to weight for some good photos of the finished products.


Second project is a power box for Skorpa's electrical system.
