Now I admit that I'm on a 4 hour delayed grounded flight back home, but maybe this is possible.
What if u got a bunch of carbon fiber, got all the stitchings exactly right. Could u use it as an alternative to canvas? --------------------  "Pain is weakness leaving the body of the strong" |

My friend is working at a sail making company and they use carbon fiber for all of their racing sails. It has a very tight weave which has to be somewhat water resistant. You can stitch carbon fiber but it would be crazy expensive to make a soft top out of it.
