Living in the Northwest, its been rumored that our weathers not always the best. Hayden Island Canvas of Portland made this cockpit enclosure for us. For rainy or cold sailing, it has cut outs for all lines (although the traveler is un movable due to a rain collar). For Spring and Fall Ill remove the Bimini sides. In the summer, we also remove the dodger sides and front so that were left with a giant bimini for shade protection. The canvas shop arched the stern walls outside and around the raised stern seats so that the seats are enclosed and it has a bay window effect.
