If anyone is in the Titusville Fl. area and need canvas work stay away form Sailor's Choice Canvas, Richard Elrod.
We used him to sew a new enclosure for our boat(very expensive). He is a preferred vendor at our marina. He comes across as a nice guy and knowledgeable about his craft. Unfortunately, this is not the case. His pattern making is not very good and where the top comes over the side is not long enough which causes the Bimini to leak greatly at the corners. If you question him he gets an attitude and becomes hostile. He won't solve any problems on his own but runs to the marina management for help. When the management suggested he fix the leaking problem he did a ridiculous patch job. If you warn anyone thinking about having him do work for them he will complain to the marina management which looks bad for you. He may be OK for little little jobs but be aware you won't get what you pay for anything else.

P.S. I saw him and commented that our enclosure still leaked like a sieve, He said "Tough" and kept walking.
