Hi Darren,
Go to just about any boatbuilder. They usually have it on the roll about 1000 mm 1200 mm wide.

: Hi,

: Thanks for the idea of joining doen the middle. Will mean buying another run
: of cloth but it's not expensive.

: I wasn't able to get the 4oz/130g cloth any wider - that's the only width my
: supplier has it in, and I haven't found anywhere else convenient who sells
: wider cloth. Yes, I suppose I could mail order it but I thought it would
: reach. And I really want to get the boat finished this month to use on a
: trip on the 1st November. So may go the two halves option.

: John - I train on the Yarra and we do some races there, otherwise I'll be
: using it in other races and the Masters Games in Feb 09 unless I build
: another one before then.

: Thanks,
: Darren
