Please describe the project specifications

Full cockpit enclosure. The customer requested that it have a clean look and be an easily functional enclosure that would expand the living space on their boat


What is unique or complex about the project?

This project came out very clean and very functional for this customer. The doorways and aft panels are flexible soft glass for rolling up and the two large side panels are rigid polycarbonate. one of my signature features on this enclosure is the hidden snaps at the bottom that are unseen. They are attached to a separate flap sewn to the inside of the bottom of the panel to give the enclosure a cleaner look. This enclosure also has a full set of sunscreens to black the sun and keep it cool inside.
