Please describe the project specifications
Full 7 piece 3 sided enclosure. customer wanted protection from the wind and waves when they are fishing in the winter weather.
What is unique or complex about the project?
This enclosure was designed to give a large area of protection for the customer. The challenge was to make an enclosure that complimented the boats aesthetic look, giving great visibility and also function very easily. We kept the window lines flowing smoothly from panel to panel. We also installed snaps on the front of the console which are hidden with a flap to give a very clean look. The wings also have J-zippers to make for very easy access to the bow of the boat, otherwise they would have 2 zippers and a strap hook to release to get forward which would not be fun. The front 3 panels are rigid polycarbonate and the 4 side panels are flexible glass to be rolled up when needed.
