A few tidbits of helpful info

Here are a couple of helpful hints when you have your canvas work done.....

Coil zippers do not work in a salt water environment. Insist on Tooth style zippers with metal sliders.

YKK #10 tooth zippers with metal sliders. Over 2 years now in a salty environment with every other month silicon or McLube spray of the slider. Perfect condition.

We roll our dodger wings back every day and hold in place with a single tie sewn into the seam....Aubrey knows how to do this.....

Again, every day we roll the ends of the spray shield in for the outside to give us easy access out of the cockpit as well as good visibility of the sails from the wheel. Zippers that join this piece need to be sewn in so as to open from the outside in so that this can work.
