1980 Drascombe Lugger ONKAHYE 21 Jan 21 New Cover

 21 Jan 21:

ONKAHYE is due for a road trip and her 1996 duck cloth cover is going to be retired. Skipper did some seamstress differential-linear-quantum-calculus and found out we have enough Sunbrella to make a new cover, so we laid out the Sunbrella to confirm and Skipper made the first cut.



Skipper's plan is to put one long seam down the middle, then she'll lay it over the boat to trim the shape, plus allowance for seams. Sunbrella wears quickly on hard points when trailered at highway speeds, the bow piece will be cut from scraps and padded/reinforced. The transom and oarlocks are reinforced as well.
