It must be that time of year... we seem to be doing one of these fishing boat cuddies every week at the moment:-0

This brand new Crestliner 18 came with a factory-fitted tonneau cover but the owner wanted to create a convenient shelter that would easily stow out of the way.

Patterned and fabricated by James Torevell 
Fabric: Weathermax 80 - "Graphite"
​Framework: 316 Marine grade Stainless Tubing 3/4" dia

A Folding Cuddy is a great addition to a small open fishing boat. It can be erected or dropped in seconds and gives much-welcome protection from the elements whilst out on the lake.

This one was custom-made for this Norwegian Pioner 10' rowing boat for fishing in the lake District.

Collingwood Boat Builders is probably known as being the the biggest manufacturer of quality craftsman-built narrow and wide-beam boats in the Northwest and we have recently had the priviledge of being commissioned to design and build canopies for a few. All the models shown in the picture gallery below were made using "Weathermax 80" woven polyester fabric over stainless steel frames.

If you have a Collingwood boat or are thinking of buying one please contact us to discuss what we can do for you. Call us on 01772 285100 or email [email protected].
