: The price I got from United Sail for ballistic nylon was $20 per
: yard...it cost me $30 in Vancouver,so I think thats a pretty
: good price. Your probley gonna pay about $10 per yard for
: canvas,being that ballistic nylon is 10 times better than
: canvas,that makes that price seem even better. For a 16 foot
: kayak you better get 6 yards of nylon so you have a bit on each
: end you can hold on to and stretch. So $120 plus tax and
: shipping. Still pretty cheap compaired to buying a factory built
: boat

SOF's I generally guess cost me around $300 in materials, but I also cover them with epoxy/glass. The fabric I use though is much less expensive, around $5 a yard so the overall price is fairly similiar.

Can't get anything for nothing.
