The regular pop-top gives you more, and then better visibility when under way. Note that his tiller is modified for standing up.

Haha, he had to so that he could see over the shed.



But seriously, something in the same neighborhood of this is what I would like to do. I really want to make a hard dodger or spray hood, that can slide into the sliding hatch's tracks when it is open and would come up to reduce water coming in during rain and would allow more headroom to go down into the cabin. But this is just a pop-in hard dodger, not a modification like this guys

Is he standing on a bridge deck? Maybe he's been modifying that boat for blue-water passage-making--hand-holds all over, steps on the mast, coachroof sorta like a Class 40 or Open 60,...

My guess is he is standing on the top cabin step. If he is contemplating real ocean work I hope he is experienced. C25's handle more like dinghies than a Pacific Seacraft!!
