Testimonial - Anne Mahle, Georges River Canvas, Rockland, Maine
Mark's 40 plus years of knowledge in the marine canvas industry doesn't even begin to compare to my five. While my shop is an active, thriving business, we are still in the perfecting phase where we have some processes in place and are still crafting others. This is where Mark's expertise is nearly invaluable. While I do appreciate all the advice and wisdom that can be found in our forums, I am looking for the best advice. The top-quality solution. The most efficient way to do something. I know Mark. I trust him. The time and money saved by talking with Mark for an hour when I have detailed questions about several jobs, is simply without comparison.
Published How-To Books
​Mark's two books above are available in our website store. Both books provide essential information for the marine canvas fabricator. They are spiral bound to lay flat while reading and have waterproof front and back covers. Over 500 have been sold to date and there are no other step-by-step books like them on the market today.

If you are an established shop with a usable well marked pattern we can make that item for you for a fee. We have a schedule of prices for various items. Please call Mark for more information.
Training
We highly recommend our friend Keri Ames of The Yachtsman's Canvas Company for all your training needs. Offering small classes in a comfortable learning atmosphere is the key to successful learning. Keri took all our classes and became an award winning fabricator. When we retired after 13 years of teaching we turned our school over to her.
