The main cover has been mangled and chewed by annoying little mice, and not as annoying crew. Fortunately though, the extent of the damage is repairable, or in my case, patchable. Went to ace upholstery this evening and purchased a yard of gray Sunbrella-like material matching the existing gray on Santeria's main cover. Expensive at 25$ per yard, but I only needed one yard, so what the hell...
Had dinner with the dog, broke out the sewing machine, cut some material, trimmed and sewed it in place, and voila, A 2-part patch down the middle and a new tail. Also added a new grommet for attachment to the backstay (ripped off the old main cover toward the end of last year)
