This project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the rigid enclosures category, was a full hybrid flybridge enclosure with track-to-track with a zipper release. Combination of 60g polycarbonate for the front three panels and 40g clear vinyl for the center front panel. Both side panels were not able to hinge up, so clear vinyl panels with roll-up zipouts were used. Back five panels will be used only part of the year, so stiffening slats on aft vertical edge were installed.
