Italian craftsmanship · Sydney made

A small loft with
high standards.

A marine trimming and upholstery workshop at d’Albora Marina, Rushcutters Bay, right beside the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. Covers, clears, upholstery and interiors, all made on site.

Being a small team is the point. The person who measures your boat is the person who patterns it, sews it and fits it. Nothing gets lost between a salesman and a factory.

How a job runs

From template
to fit-off.

01

Measure & template

We come to your berth, look at how you actually use the boat, and template directly on the vessel.

02

Pattern & cut

Templates become patterns; canvas, clears and hardware are cut and prepared in the loft.

03

Sew & finish

Sewn on industrial long-arm machines with PTFE thread, reinforced everywhere the load goes.

04

Fit on the water

Final fitting on your boat. We adjust until it sits right, then it’s yours.

Material Specs

The materials are half the job.

A cover only lasts as long as what it’s made from.
This is what goes into ours, and why.
Sunbrella® acrylic Solution-dyed canvas that holds its colour through years of Australian UV. The industry benchmark for biminis, dodgers and covers. Canvas / UV-stable
Strataglass™ Premium coated clear vinyl with superior optics and scratch resistance. Crystal Clear and rigid polycarbonate options available. Clears / Optics
Tenara® PTFE thread A thread the sun can't destroy, guaranteed for the life of the fabric, so the seams never become the weak point. Thread / Lifetime
YKK® marine zips Salt-resistant zips and sliders that keep working season after season, on panels you open and close every day. Hardware / Marine
Marine-grade vinyl Upholstery vinyls selected for salt, abrasion and mildew resistance, in finishes for both classic and modern interiors. Upholstery / Interior

The Rushcutters Bay advantage

A free berth while we work on your boat.

Every customer can take a berth at the marina for the duration of the job. It means we template and fit directly on your vessel, the difference between a cover that fits and a cover that almost fits.

And if your boat is elsewhere on Sydney Harbour, we can usually come to you for measuring and fitting.
