I made front hull covers and a comp tip cover for my H-17 from an old canvas awning. I cut the awning so it would wrap around the hull tips and the comp tip with about 3" to spare, then stapled it together with a heavy duty paper stapler. I sewed them just inside the line of staples (I stapled the canvas a bit loosely), trimmed off the excess canvas, removed all the staples, turned the covers inside out (or outside in) to put the sewed seam on the inside. Done! To hold them on while towing, I set a plastic grommet in each cover and tied them on.
