Pretty much need to find a local canvas shop and have them make you one. You can save about 50% of the cost if you buy an industrial walking foot machine and make your own. After getting quotes in the $6500-$8500 range to make new canvas for our F36, I opted to buy the machine and teach myself how to do the work.

I agree on making your own. I bought a Sailrite 111 with the upgraded motor. It will walk through 8 layers of Sunbrella one stitch at a time. I have already saved the cost of the machine in just making some covers for my 22' Triumph. Am going to start on the F32 canvas this winter. I have made covers for lots of things around the house also. It is nice to be able to whip out some canvas project without getting someone to come bid it, etc and then wait for it to be made. I keep several rolls of Sunbrella on hand so I can make something when i need to without waiting.
