I have just read Dan Houston's reply to an earlier post about re-canvassing a cabin roof in which he reports on a canvas used for decking Broads boats.

I have never considered using canvas because most of the Broads yacht builders and repairers I have met swear by lino. But why lino? Its not as if you can use Flash or some other whizzo floor cleaner on it to bring it up to a brilliant shine and it certainly seems to soak up spilled paint and grease before you can mop it up.

Any Broads boatbuilders care to comment?

cheers

Hi Dan

Bill Stock here. If I do use lino, would you care for a report and pictures?
