Canvas work around Hamble

Hi all... We're looking for someone/company to fabricate some canvas covers of various shapes and sizes. The covers will be used to protect machinery/ equipment over at the Esso refinery tugs/jetty.

Any recommendations?

The company doing the work will need to be able to either accept credit cards or be able to issue proforma invoices.

Simon

I know of a WAFI not too far from there who was able to wrap a tanker anchor in canvas - very nice job and he fitted it himself...

He could use the money.

I fear the skipper af that yacht will forever be reminded of that word 'anchor'...or something to that effect anyway.

Try JB Yacht Services based near Universal Marina.

They made a new set of covers for my Doral 250se Powerboat earlier this year, did a fantastic job, quaility material and workmanship, came well recommended by other berth holders. I have since spoken to salesmen from Sunseeaker, Princess and Fairline who also use them for repairs / re-covers for their super yachts....

Address is
The Birches
Sarisbury Court
Sarisbury Green
Southampton
SO31 6AG
