290 Enclosure and Radar Mast

posted 10-07-2008 by Eric Drayman

See Enclosure with Dodger

We had a local canvis shop create a dodger and enclosure using the stock bimini that Hunter provides. There are a total of 9 panels and the dodger. The dodger has a fly to the bimini that finishes off the enclosure. The back has screens and the fly can be replaced with a screen. There are two additional vents in the arch.

See Close up with Radar Mast

We opted to install the radar on its own mast. The mast has a manuel leveling device. It only took us about 12 hrs to install the Radar.

You can also see that we decided on JRC. Found a 1500 on ebay for a great price.

See Roll up

The center panel is rolled up. All the panels can roll up and thus the enclosure can be put away in less than 10 minutes. We can also sail with the enclosure as you see in the picture but have not as of yet.

You can see what a great job the canvis shop did.
