: I am trying to build a canvas covered kayak but I am looking for a good place
: to get canvas. I have found referances of other builders for $6 a yard but
: all i find locally is $25 a yard. Can anyone recommend what kind I should
: get and good places to get it. Or can you reccomend another inexpensive
: alternative? Any help is appreciated... Rick

I used #10 Cotton Duck: 60" wide, 11 yds: price per yard $4.68 from PEARL. There is a discount at 11 yards.
My next boat that I'm currently working on will be covered in a synthetic. Every time I go over a rock or log that rubs against the bottom of the boat I freak out. I'm looking for the security provided with a synthetic skin.
