Very nice.

I looked at a few of your videos and your boat sure looks pretty. Your cockpit windscreens have given me inspiration to do the same as something like this would, for me, be better than a dodger.

Thanks for sharing!

Loved your video with "mother" at the helm. Nice way to spend a Sunday (or any day for that matter).

The windscreens are nice ..I used a tarp to make a pattern , plus
4 18" bungee cords to keep it tight (2 each side , front back)
The top goes over the life line and I used quick twists for a fastener .
Also excilent privacy at anchor .

Nice to share ideas to make a better boating experance
I learned a lot from other members ..

I was wondering if the wind screens added windage and would increase heeling in stronger winds.

Thank You

Ya , if its real windy and your getting "man handeled" it doesnt help .

but if your just going straight and the right amount of sail is up , it does make a nice wind block . and is nice to have up for a long ride .
privacy is great with them too , there always up at anchor .


Heres a day i wish we had a bigger boat
