Mac, I've been in the canvas trade some 38 years now. Making a new cover from an old one is tough. Sort of like building a house around a porch, but it can be done. A good frame is the key starting point for a new bimini, and any good stitcher should be able to fab your new top and have the existing sides and stern curtain still match. Unfortunatly, I no longer have the capabilities of doing this type of work anymore. Good luck.

The NB guy is good, I know who teaser is talking about.
Call Steve Thurston at Quantum Sails in Bristol and get a quote from him also.

Mac I'll get the name and phone number for you tomorrow and hit you with a PM with the info.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.
