It depends on what it is made from.... Fabsil is designed for fabric type materials.... if it is vinyl, I would not expect too much success.
Eventually all canopies die... it's a sad and expensive fact. The only way to prolong the life effectively is to reduce the amount of time it is on the boat and exposed to the weather. Buying a new canopy before the old one is totally shot and fitting the old one in the winter is a good way to go.

I've just had a new cover made by nauti cover, by far the cheapest and very good service.
Cheers john |

+1 for Nauticover... My mate had one made for his Freeman 22. Send off the old one and in a few days he had a new one. Take your time to fit it.... allow a day... it's fiddly, but not difficult.
It will never look quite as sharp as a custom made and fitted one, but it will cost less than half!!!

we used Titan canopies and they have done a fantastic job on our Sea master but we didnt have an old one to copy so they had to make from scratch including the frame and fittings.
cost was just over £1200 including fitting |
