New fabric on sale!

[Kudzu]

Just received a roll of a new 9 oz polyester fabric.  This is tight weave fabric with a fairly smooth finish. The weave it fairly smooth and nice and tight. Sewing this fabric should be easy to without the pull holes you would get with the original 8 oz we sold for so many years. I applied some paint and it soaked in rather than just sitting on the surface.

 

$5 a foot but I have it on sale for a few days at $4.50 a foot.

Those are really great prices. I do hope you still have this avail when my daughter and I are done with our build.

How would you recommend sewing this fabric (running stitch or double corded)?

[HBREW]

Anyone with experience with this fabric yet?

[Kudzu]

Not sewn any yet you could do either I am sure.

I'm trying to communicate with Jeff Horton of KudzuCraft but unfortunately the business is closed. Sadly, It seems that the entire industry is changing. Maybe fewer people are building boats today. 

I would like to build the Oxford type rowing shell (about 18ft) that Jeff created, but I have only seen photos of the frame. 

Like Dave Gentry's "Ruth" available at Duckworks.com, it would be great to see other designers post plans for sale.

I'm hoping that someone can point me to plans for the shell.

Thanks

Rick

Jeff has published two books that are still available on Amazon. Each of them contains several construction plans, so maybe you'll find what you're looking for there.
