About Our Training

We are a highly recognized, very successful marine canvas fabrication shop operating for over 22 years with a team of qualified employees. We service not only local marinas but clients’ boats around the US using our “Flawless One Step” Patterning System. Here at Fairwinds Canvas Training Center you will embark on a very personal, unique and comprehensive experience in our PRIVATE One-on-One workshops with a Certified Master Fabric Craftsman.

Courses are structured for all levels of educational instruction from businesses with inexperienced employees to the business owner wanting to enhance their business knowledge and techniques in fabrication. Classes are held either on site in a very controlled and professional training center separate from our production area, or we travel to your company.

Classes are Private, whether One-on-One or a business group, structured to your business needs and goals. Workshops are 8:30 to 4:00 with lunch provided at our “On Site” location and schedules will vary per individual requirements. Private Training is $1100.00 per day per person. Business group discounts are available dependent on course structure.

We are conveniently located 22 miles from General Mitchell International airport and 63 miles from O’Hare International airport allowing for easy travel. Our facility is 12 blocks from the waterfront nestled with many working boatyards. While staying in Racine you will find a variety of restaurants, local shopping and the convenient Double Tree by Hilton Hotel for comfortable accommodations.
