Please describe the project specifications

The owner of this Cascade 34 wanted an upgrade to his boat after having removed the old hardtop he didn't care for. He wanted a functional enclosure for offshore sailing. We fabricated frames for the dodger and bimini, along with Marine 5 panels in the dodger, and O'Sea panels for the rest of the enclosure. The owner also wanted a rack on the bimini for more solar panels in the future. We also added easy access zippers in the middle port and stb panels with overlaps to enter the cockpit without having to roll up the panels that fold back and snap into place instead.


What is unique or complex about the project?

This Cascade had many challenges. There needed to be winch access with full handle rotation with the enclosure in place along with a bump out for the odd shaped cockpit where the dodger was. The aft hatchway had to be avoided along with the owner's previously mounted side solar panels and the bimini frame needed to mount outside of the enclosure but have the panels come inside the frame.
