Warrior 165 - Fishing Canopy

8/10/2015

Fishing canopies, half canopies or cuddy extensions as they are variably known come in all shapes and sizes. They offer valuable shelter from the elements without drastically impeding the cockpit fishing area. The problem with most is the lack of headroom causing the fisherman to stoop or be seated. We had two customers who each had a Warrior 165 and they both wanted a fishing canopy with standing room and for it to convert to a simple overhead shelter by way of removable side panels. We came up with a design, booked them both in and made these two beauties.

These Canopies are not available as an off the shelf item as they require specialist fitting.
Fabric: Acrylic Canvas
Framework: 316 Marine Grade Stainless Tubing - 3/4" 18's gauge.

This Freeman 23 Hard Top had an untimely meeting with a Narrowboat which destroyed the hard top and screen so we made this all-in-one canopy with integral screen. Obviously not an original Freeman feature but hopefully in keeping with its style. Thoughts and comments would be much appreciated😀
