Please describe the project specifications

The customer wanted a top of the line all weather enclosure for the center console on his new Jeanneau Leader. We installed Costa track all around, and utilized the channel that was pre built into the windshield at the factory. Being an all rigid enclosure, we installed access zippers with a double fold back on both sides of the helm. All panels were made to zip out in addition so they can be easily removed by the customer.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The helm on this boat allows only very narrow entry forward into the cabin on this boat. Making an enclosure that looked as good as it functioned was paramount, and took some careful planning and layout to make sure the customer could use the boat easily but also use the enclosurejust as easily. The final result was better than the customer expected. The double fold back doors made having a rigid enclosure a possibility in such a small space the customer trusted us to accomplish.
