After success with the winches, I ordered the material for the pedestal cover. Sailrite also sent an instructional DVD which was really helpful.
Patterning this cover was difficult due to the nav pod (GPS and autopilot) that I installed last year. David suggested using muselin to create the pattern and that worked out very well. I used double sided tape to hold it in place while using a sharpie to mark the seams.
Mom provided some helpful advice and recommended pinning the pieces together after cutting and having a trial fit. I only needed to make adjustments to the creases and after 1 day of sewing, had a completed cover. It fits and looks great!
