Sailrite is pretty good at providing detailed instructions and $2200 will provide quite a bit of materials and tools for you to learn with. Once it's done you will have the knowledge and tools to make any number of other canvas projects. Imagine the life time of savings. If foreign destinations are in your future imagine the value of not having to find a canvas (or even sail) maker. Sunbrella is not difficult to work with. It's not hard to find and its not terribly expensive. If you were talking about a priceless museum piece or using Italian leather it would be a different story.
