Even though the hatch is not yet installed, took opportunity to sew a cover for it.
Sewing grabrail cover
Used 1″ binder attachment for my Sailrite sewing machine to create reinforced edging on grab rail covers. Added fasteners – first try at doing that with the SnapRite tool and they turned out OK.
Mainsail cover DONE!
After dry-fitting and making final adjustments, the common sense fasteners were installed using special hole punches from SailRite. Finally, the cover took its permanent place and the project is DONE!
