Oh, you guys are indeed ancient. My much more modern 1980 version has the awesome beige, orange, and brown tone plaid stuff. It is also better at showing stains, of which there are many. But, as 90 percent of its activity is local racing, the cushions stay in the attic over the ‘carriage house’ (that is a garage to you modern folks most of the time. Someday….

I found some extra on the boat and saved it. Came in handy a couple years ago when I had an upholsterer patch some in on the quarterberth cushion. Fabric isn't bad but the stitching gives out. Have gotten a couple cushions re-stitched. Cash speaks loud to small upholstery shops for the occasional small job. :) Dennis C.

Is this a challenge? Some of the cushions on Calypso are original from 1970. They are covered in the red, white, blue plaid design common to C&Cs of the era. I suspect they survived this long because when the boat was raced locally the cushions were in storage. I have no desire to look closely for stains, especially with a black light. To make the V berth (which on Calypso consists of hinged plywood covers over the sail storage lockers) more comfortable when cruising I had thicker cushions covered with sunbrella made up. I kept the thin, well used V berth cushions that came with the boat for racing deliveries.

All the rolled stuff looks to be stapled along the edges. Just take it to the shop and restaple the new stuff yourself.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch Many of you are fortunate to have all separate removable cushions, bottoms and backs. Touche's dinette and settee backs are single rolled and pleated wraparound units stapled to the cabinetry. I like the look. It would be very pricey to replace because the workman would almost certainly have to come to the boat. Many owners have removed this look and gone with separate cushion backs.
