El Progeso Canvas Shop -- Vidalia and Luis

Progeso Canvas celebrates its sixth year in business on the Rio Dulce, serving the boating community with a variety of canvas work items and repair.

Owner Luis Escobar with his wife, Vidalia, have been meeting boaters' needs with custom cushions, sailcovers, harbor awnings, dodgers, dinghy covers, biminis and many other boater specific items.

All canvas items are constructed with special ultra violet resistant Anti-Wick B-92 UVR thread.

Progreso Canvas has 8 heavy duty sewing machines, each with a specific purpose.

In addition to custom fabrication, Luis says he can "repair just about anything", including sails.

He and Vidalia have two children -- Carla, 13, and William, 10.

Progreso Canvas is located on the El Relleno "the other" side of the Rio, across from the agricultural police inspection stop and a short distance from the side street that leads down to Mar Marine and Backpackers.
