Abstract
A method of attaching over the central passenger opening of a boat using interconnecting male and female snaps of a boat side gunnels and a cooperating canvas that typically has shrunk out-of-fit, the supplementing use of attached strips on opposite sides of the shrunken canvas area that extend the reach of snaps that otherwise cannot be interconnected, each strip having at opposite ends a male and female snap for this purpose, so that in attaching the canvas, its central location is maintained to obviate twisting and pulling stresses or the like in the canvas.
