Re: New Soft goods on Bridge of Voyager
It's not hard. Just takes time.
We were in no rush so took our time finding the materials at the right price. For instance, a brand new 60 yard blue sunbrella roll, bought on ebay from Formula, for 650 bucks. We have a marine outlet/surplus store near us. Bought all the white marine grade vinyl for around 4 bucks yard. Used teflon thread also purchased reasonably on ebay. Shopped RV places for interior materials and bought at least 50% off.
You'll need a decent walking foot sewing machine - I suggest a portable Husqvarna Viking 6440 or similar. Will sew through many layers of vinyl.
Wife also made the weather covers for Plain Vanilla. When we had our 4207, we replaced all the clear vinyl. She also made covers for all the bridge seating and helm.
BTW - where are you in Stevensville? When we lived in MD, we lived at the end of Route 8 a short distance from the Romancoke Pier.
