AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Yacht Canvas Inc.
Sleek Chaps & Engine Cover
Materials: WeatherMAX®

Project Description: Dinghy chaps are a unique
endeavor. They're as close to dressmaking as
a canvas person gets, involving detailed formfit
sewing. One of the significant challenges is
how to attach the chaps to the dinghy. A variety
of techniques were used for this project, which
involved experimenting with WeatherMAX 3D.
During templating, every contour was captured
accurately. In construction, omitting any seam
allowance proved beneficial for achieving the
perfect fit. The canvas body and various cutouts
and reinforcements were constructed with
Horizon by Sunbrella. The registration numbers
were added to the port and starboard bow with
a vinyl heat press. An outer bungee drawstring
under the rub rail secured with pad eyes
was used to attach the chaps to the dinghy.
Internally, a drawstring with D-rings, snaps and
pad eyes were incorporated to enhance both
the fit and final appearance. At the customer's
request, a running engine cover for the
outboard with appropriate vents and fittings
was fabricated to protect it from UV damage.

Project Description: The client races
vintage race cars as a hobby. He
wanted a custom cockpit cover that
was trailerable and that would stay on
and protect this $250 million " Go Speed
Racer " from the elements while traveling
at 80 mph on the highway. It's one of
those jobs that looks small and simple
but was deceivingly complicated due to
the roll bar, which had a center support.
The rearview mirror and the side mirror
had to be booted to make the cover as
streamlined as possible. Aqualon Edge
Soft material was used to protect the
car, and careful attention was paid to
the snap base placement. Every snap
had to be drilled and bolted. Directional
snaps were used on the front and back
of the cover to ensure that the snaps
would stay in place while being towed.
The customer loved the cover, and it
trailers well. " Go Speed Racer, " go!
