My settee alone is 8 cushions - 3 bottom, 3 back and 2 ends. The dinette is probably 10 with the table top cushions. I don't have the patience to do 18 cushions, and the Admiral isn't interested. Looks like I need to shop around. I have some friends in the car business. I can see if they have

Hi Joel, I'm curious as to why you spec'd Sunbrella? It's forte is colour-fast after years of sun exposure and it's not the most comfortable fabric to sit on. I suggest talking about proper upholstery fabric when dealing with your supplier. My saloon is done in leather but that might not

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

Sunbrella is pretty pricey. Look at fabrics for patio furniture. Most are a fraction of the cost of Sunbrella. Heck, even Home Depot sells outdoor fabrics. Guess I'm lucky, Touche's cushions are in decent shape. However the pattern is definitely 70's retro. Who knows, in another 40 years it

Funny you should say that. One of the "joys" of owning a "storied" boat is, of course, the stories. The Admiral was at a fundraiser a few years back when the conversation steered around to interests and then sailing. An older couple asked the Admiral what boat she sailed on. When she replied

Yup, the red, white and blue plaid is what Touche' has. 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.
