Listers,
I’m going a different route than doing a leather cover. This year, I’m
sending my wheel to ColorWheelz (http://www.colorwheelz.com). Been herring a
lot of good things about it, especially that it doesn’t absorb water (keeping
my hands and sailing gloves dry).
Best wishes to all for a joyous holiday, along with a happy and healthy
(and breezy) new year.
All the best,
Edd
