Enclosure complements lines of boat
Admiral Marine Canvas, Baltimore, MD.
For this project, which won a 2010 MFA Outstanding Achievement Award in the soft enclosures category, we wanted to fabricate an enclosure that would complement, not complicate, the lines of the boat. The forward center Strataglass panel was originally two panels that separated in the middle. I needed this panel to be one piece and still match the hard windshield lines. The only binding used was to finish the edge.
