Most people sew their boat enclosures out of Sunbrella. Me, I think that's a bad idea. Sunbrella is not naturally waterproof and it costs 3 or 4 times the price of vinyl coated polyester scrim which is much more quickly glued than Sunbrella is sewn and is completely waterproof. The vinyl is not as aesthetically pleasing as Subrella but better I think.
