This Catalina 30 was upgraded wtih new 1” stainless steel frames, a 5 panel layout dodger, with bimini and connector top to shade the cockpit. Sunbrella, 40 mil O’Sea Marine Clear vinyl and Solarfix PTFE thread were used throughout.
The owner of this Carver wanted to add a rigid panel enclosure to the bridge. We installed multiple tracks top and bottom for a clean look. This enclosure features Stamoid Open (heavy duty) fabric, 60 mil Tuffak Marine 5 polycarbonate clear panels, Solarfix PTFE thread and costa track. Fold back section where sewn into the main front panels, and the center side panels fold up for plenty of ventilation.
This Ranger tug got a horizontal rigid style top made out of stainless steel, and a full enclosure with 40 mil O’Sea marine clear vinyl and Sunbrella with Solarfix PTFE thread. The owner wanted awnings that zip on to provide extra coverage for the fold out seats in the cockpit. Easy Access j-zippers were added to the main entrance and sides for moving forward easy.
Ranger Tugs present a lot of issues to design around. Same with Cutwaters. A standard style bimini top can’t be made correctly usually due to the fold out seats. So many fabricators try to make a standard style bimini that is too steep an angle, and then is lacking in tension where needed. We much prefer to build a horizontal style semi-permanent frame, since most owners never plan to fold the tops anyways. This allows a very tight well fitting top that also allows us to easily put our panel zipper breaks right were they are needed.
This sundancer got new tops and enclosure panels all around . We remade the front bimini for better height and water flow. Sunbrella Marine, 40 mil O’Sea Marine clear, Solarfix PTFE thread were used for materials. An easy access J-zipper with overlapping flap was built in to the side panels and aft entry. These pull back and snap to themselve isntead of rolling up to wrinkle the nice clear vinyl on the panels.
Our customers are keeping us so busy as always! Time to get some photos up of what we’ve been doing. Enjoy!
The owner of this beautifully restored dory came to us with a specfic design and aesthetic already in mind. The style of top and windshield he desired was similar to convertible dodgers we have done on many sailboats. He had a few custom options in mind we were happy to accommodate. The top can fold up all the way, but it can also be half folded. It features Sunbrella Silica Sesame marine fabric, Makrolon Marine 5 windows, Solarfix thread, and stainless steel tubing and hardware.

The owner of this sailboat wanted some cockpit protection from the sun on those hot sunny days that still allows airflow. The shade slides into tracks we mounted on the boom, has catenary curves to maintain tension and ties off at the outboard lifeline stanchions. The fabric used is Stamoid Classic in white which is easy to clean and last for years without shrinking.
