This project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the full exterior canvas sailboat (27 feet and up) category, included two new sets of frames, a dodger and a bimini with a viewing mask. The purpose of the project was to give the client a bimini and dodger to protect him from the elements. The customer also requested that a viewing mask be put in the bimini top so that he could see the boom.
