Bruce, if this is still available I’d love to have it. My wife and I just retired our boat upholstery business. She had made a cover for my O’Day 19 several years ago and declared that she’d never make another cover for a sailboat! So when I bought my 1988/2001 Rhodes in 2017 I didn’t dare broach the subject!
I’m sure we could make this work. You can call or text me at 540-769-9248 or email at edmc18 at gmail.com

Thanks,
Ed McNamara
