Start date - 1st April 2014 This project is a full enclosure for the stern of this cruiser style Narrowboat. The Top of the canopy wiil be in 4 sections supported by 3 frames. The sides will zip into the top and be full height with zip-up door panels and the stern rail will be enclosed with a solid dodger. In this photo we are fixing the deck brackets on top of the cab for the front frame support. With the frame strapped securely in place and the first 2 panels for the canopy top fixed with double-sided tape we can see the structure starting to take shape. The pattern is complete and ready to be taken back to the workshop where each panel will be worked and finalised. These finished patterns are then used to mark out the actual canopy fabric ready for cutting and sewing. The fabric of choice for this job is Weathermax Tweed Green, a high performance lightweight marine fabric with superb strength and breathability. |
