Canvas Enclosure
Canvas enclosures are made up of windows, doors and other curtains used to fully enclosure an area of the boat – usually the aft cockpit. They usually attach to a bimini and dodger on a sailboat and can be rolled up or removed
Why an Enclosure?
- Keep out the elements while still allowing use
- Allow easy entry and exit
- Keep your cockpit clean
When choosing an enclosure, things to consider include:
- Size of window panels
- Abrasion/chafe areas need to be avoided
- Security?
- Do you want window covers?
