Help for shrunken canvas

Taylor Made Systems says it has an innovative solution to the common problem of snapping down boat tops and covers, especially when the canvas shrinks in cold weather.

The patent-pending Taylor Made flexible canvas attachment system overcomes this problem by mounting the female snaps into an inside flap of neoprene with a loop Velcro backing.

The canvas pulls down over the flap and attaches with Velcro, hiding the fasteners from view. If the location of the female snap needs to be adjusted, the neoprene can easily be stretched in any direction - side to side or fore and aft - to match up with the male fastener on the boat.

The company says it took over two years of research and development to produce the flexible canvas attachment system, which will be incorporated into all Taylor Made canvas products.
