Tenara is available from Sailrite 
<http://www.sailrite.com/Categories/Lifetime-Guarantee-Thread>, it's 
dear at $139 a spool. I've heard about it from others who are familiar 
with the canvas business, say it can't be beat. Given that it's true 
that the seams are the weak link in canvas longevity, it seems that it 
would be worth every penny not to have to remove the canvas to have it 
re-stitched every couple of years.
