Here's a few pictures of the cockpit enclosure that we had built last
summer (2007).
I don't have pictures taken specifically of the enclosure unfortunately,
but rather just general shots of the boat that show how it looks.
The enclosure is comprised of :
- 1 Dodger with opening windscreen
- 1 piece full length bimini
- Upper opening windscreen joining dodger to bimini.
- 3 individual side panels on each side, any of which may be installed or left off independently
- Single piece back panel that attaches outside the stern rail
There are screens and opening window panels on the sides and on the back
panel.
The entire enclosure is supported by a single forward frame and a single aft frame. The aft frame can be completely removed from the boat or simply folded back and secured for sailing.
The mainsail can't be used if the bimini is up.

This Old Boat
by Don Casey
Subtitled "turn a rundown fiberglass boat into a
first-class yacht on a shoestring budget," this book is the best
introduction I know boat maintenance for the new or prospective owner
of a "modern classic" sailboat. Starting with guidelines
for selecting a boat, Casey proceeds to fiberglass repairs, cabin and
deckwork, spars and rigging, boat equipment, woodwork, electrical,
plumbing, refrigeration, painting, canvas work and sails. All of this
is described in clear, simple terms perfect for the inexperienced.
This is the book that taught me fiberglass work. But don't let it
fool you; this book is appropriate for experienced boatowners, too.
I still refer to it.
