Seen some Coronado C15 types use the garage door bottom seal material. I think the factory replacement material for those boats is sailcloth over mylar.

There are two different types of gasket rubber on it now and it looks like garage door material but the mylar material sounds like a better idea. Any thoughts on where I can get this?

The thread I was looking at mentioned Ullman Sails as a source, but you probably could Google a better source that would be less costly.

If you haven't found it here's an article on replacing that gasket

Thanks to all for the help. The link for the material is exactly what I was looking for. This forum is the best. Will have to post a picture once I am done.
