Fairwinds Canvas LLC / Marine Canvas Training Center

"I had the pleasure of working with Kat at Fairwinds Canvas in October of 2022. They helped me with designing, building, and mounting a bimini and dodger on my Jeanneau 40.3. Kat was very professional and clearly know what she was talking about! After asking me a few questions, taking a few measurements, and after I shared a few thoughts on the final design they went to work. In one week they produced the frames and covers and the result was really good. I highly recommend them for any canvas or frame work!"

"We originally contacted 5 different companies for quotes for a dodger for our 1974 C&C 30 sailboat. To date we have heard from exactly 1 of those 5, and that's Fairwinds. Our boat doesn't have much room under the boom, so Kat had to take that into account when designing our custom dodger. For a little extra she also made a new sail cover that doesn't drag on the dodger causing chaff. Originally we were told that it wouldn't be done until mid July, but due to some delays on other projects ours was completed about a month early. The crafting is top notch as is the customer service. Pricing seems to be comparable, but honestly I don't know for sure since no one else deemed to answer our inquiry. We are extremely pleased with the total package and can't sing the praises of Fairwinds Canvas any higher!! Love their products!!"

"I used Fairwinds to replace the canvas on the Sea Ray 370. All I can say is wow - a beautiful job. Kathryn was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her."

"I called to buy for boat canvas for my 33ft. Cruisers Yacht. The horrible person who answered the phone at Fairwinds told me that because a competitor who she doesn't like, Boat Tailors, had previously done work for me on the opposite half of the boat, she would not do business with me. She literally refused to do any work because of a grudge she has with Dean, the owner of her competitor. I explained that I didn't need her to fix his work, just do the other half fresh. She became nasty, combative and unresonable. I have never been so disrespected by a company I was attempting to hire. The owner of Fairwinds is out of her mind. Don't even think of calling this nutjob."

"Cant say enough about the quality of workmanship. Had Fairwinds custom make our fly-bridge enclosure and add and fabricate a bimini extension on our Carver Mariner. WOW ! It was a hard decision to spend the amount of money that these enclosures cost these days, but man am I glad we chose Fairwinds. They are very pleasant to work with, they fit us into their busy schedule, and as I said, TOP NOTCH workmanship. Thanks for the great work."
