If you boat is in the Florida sun then you know you have to do the teak every two years.  Joe, decided to cover those usually uncovered teak areas and extend that time.  Thanks Joe, never seen anybody protect these difficult areas on a P35.

        These teak covers are made from old scraps of Sunbrella with snaps installed just under the teak on both sides of the coaming. If you look real close they're pretty ratty looking, but i will remove them if I am taking the boat out. I don't know how close the measurements would be because my teak has gone through a lot of rebuilding and sanding and the hardware is probably in different locations.

     I just laid out the fabric and marked the edge with caulk; then added additional fabric for the sides, hem and snaps.

Hints: make the winch covers inside-out and then sew them on from the bottom. Don't install the snaps till all the fabric is completed and then install them so the cloth is stretched. Be careful not to install the snaps backwards (like I did). The forward corner of the coaming cover is made with a pocket to hook over the teak so I don't need a snap here. Make sure you cut the slits for the cleats long enough to slip the cover over the horns. I used caulk to mark where my winches and cleats were located -- I marked the holes because all the hardware was removed (and still is)

        I also did the tow rail and bow and stern covers (photos attached).

        I got the engine to run for the first time in 4 years. Had to have new battery, boiled out heat exchanger, cleaned fuel tank with new fuel, changed oil in engine and tranny, rebuilt bedix drive on the starter and various small accessory fittings changed out. If all goes well, I will put it the yard in 2 weeks.

Fairwinds, Joe
